A telemetry technique for a special data collection system being developed for use on general aviation aircraft involved in aeronautical research programs is described. The system consists of a number of sensor-transmitter units at different locations on the aircraft, with individual signal conditioning and logic, which send sampled data signals to a single receiver in the airplane. The transmitters operate independently on the same frequency and are not synchronized to the receiver. The problem of reception of multiple samples simultaneously is treated by discarding such samples. An overlap detection technique for the frequency shift keyed modulation system is described. The amount of predicted data loss due to overlap is presented and compared with results obtained with a circuit implementation; the effects of discarded data on accuracy is discussed.
