A unique modulation system for two channel data transmission

A simple low cost system is reported for the telemetry of information from meteorological rocket payloads including parachute borne systems. It uses S- or L-band microwave links with low cost oscillator type transmitters. An extension of this system to transmit two channels of data simultaneously by standard time and frequency multiplexing techniques as a sampled pulse is described. One channel is represented by the pulse repetition rate while the other channel is represented by the instantaneous duty cycle of the pulse train.
