TUALCOM telemetry transmitters are ultra-small aeronautical modules designed to support high-reliability data transmission during flight test and instrumentation activities. Operating in the 2.2–2.4 GHz band, they enable consistent, high-rate telemetry links for real-time monitoring and system evaluation across compact airborne defense platforms.
Based on an IRIG-106 compatible SDR architecture, the transmitters support optional data encryption, Forward Error Correction (FEC), and randomization to enhance data integrity and link resilience. Multiple modulation formats are available, including PCM/FM (Tier 0), SOQPSK-TG (Tier 1), and Multi-h CPM (Tier 2), with configurable data rates up to 20 Mbps in 1 kbps increments.
Optional onboard data acquisition and PCM encoding capabilities allow direct interfacing with Ethernet or serial data sources, reducing the need for external data acquisition hardware in certain configurations. This supports streamlined system integration where size and weight constraints are critical.
Multiple RF output power options, ranging from 1 W to 20 W, provide flexibility to meet different range and performance requirements. Compact and power efficient, the transmitters are built to meet MIL-STD-810 standards, supporting deployment in demanding operational environments.
These modules are suited to flight testing, guided system development, and broader aerospace and defense evaluation programs requiring dependable telemetry transmission.
