telemetry uses radio technology to perform remote measurements
in an effort to report and analyze information. Data is
transferred from point to point via radio technology to create
radio telemetry systems, enabling users to gather information
and use it to make a determination about a subject. Usually,
this system requires external instructions in order to operate.
This is done through a process known as telecommand control. The
concept of radio telemetry uses the same basic technology as
standard radios found in cars and homes. Transmitters range in
size from small portable devices to large radio stations, and
all emit radio waves. These waves are transferred through an
antenna to a receiver. Generally, the system does not use
complex information transfer such as coding, but simply signals
transmitted at specific frequencies. This enables users to
identify the location, direction and other data about a specific
subject. Many times, telemetry equipmen
