Airborne telemetry data is inevitable during the development phase of an aerospace vehicle. With the availability of telemetry data the vehicle characteristics are evaluated and the vehicle objectives are achieved subsequently. During the trajectory path, the airborne telemetry system transmits vehicle data continuously and ground receiving station receives it. The availability of data at ground station is solely dependent on various parameters; primarily data rate, modulation, RF power, etc. In this paper, typical data rate of telemetry for long range aerospace vehicle is analyzed and an innovative scheme is proposed for optimal data rate transmission with multi-resolution of high speed image data for distributed telemetry system. The scheme is implemented on 25 nm ZYNQ CSOC of telemetry hardware and synthesized netlist is simulated, performance is evaluated and results verified on telemetry hardware.

The on-board telemetry system of an aerospace vehicle sends the vehicle performance parameters to the ground receiving station at all instances of its trajectory. During the course of its trajectory, the communication channel of a long range vehicle, experiences various phenomena such as plume attenuation, stage separation, manoeuvring of a vehicle and RF blackout, causing loss of valuable telemetry data. The loss of communication link is inevitable due to these harsh conditions even when using the space diversity of ground receiving systems. Conventional telemetry systems do not provide redundant data for long range aerospace vehicles. This research work proposes an innovative delay data transmission, frame switchover and multiple frames data transmission schemes to improve the availability of telemetry data at ground receiving stations. The proposed innovative schemes are modelled using VHDL and extensive simulations have been performed to validate the results. The functionally simulated net list has been synthesised with 130 nm ACTEL flash based FPGA and verified on telemetry hardware.
