Design of Telemetry System Using VHDL

Telemetry is nothing but sensing and measuring the information from a location and transmitting it to the host body. The transmission media may be air and space for satellite applications and copper wire and fibre cables for static ground environments like power generation plants. An effective telemetry system plays a vital role in controlling and commanding the aircraft or satellite. The telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) system of a spacecraft provides the most vital telecommunication link between a satellite and ground station. In this paper, it has been proposed to design a telemetry system using VHDL. The code can be synthesized and simulated using ISE Xilinx software.
