International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / One of the charters of the Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) program was to develop more spectrally efficient waveforms while trying to maintain similar performance to the legacy waveform, Pulse Code Modulation/Frequency Modulation (PCM/FM). The first step toward this goal was the ARTM Tier I family of waveforms which include Feher patented, quadrature phase shift keying, -B version (FQSPKB) and shaped offset quadrature phase shift keying, Telemetry Group version (SOQPSK-TG). The final step was development of Tier II, an even more spectrally efficient waveform, multi-h Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM). This paper characterizes the performance of this waveform when applied in an airborne telemetry environment and, where appropriate, comparisons are made with existing Tier 0 and Tier I waveforms. The benefits, drawbacks, and trade-offs when applying this waveform in an airborne environment will also be discussed.
