Description
Summary:International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 1984 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada === Collection of radar and telemetry data has always been limited by bandwidth and storage capacity factors. This paper examines some of the constraining factors in achieving very high data rates and storage capacities. A number of new technologies are examined for applicability. A special purpose modular architecture oriented towards high speed bulk data acquisition is presented. Several systems are described including systems based on Winchester disks, high speed parallel transfer disks, bulk RAMs, HDDR, and others. Special emphasis is placed on the unique data acquisition requirements of radar and telemetry signal collection.
