DESIGN OF AN ANIMAL TRACKING AND TELEMETRY SYSTEM

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper was prepared as part of the team design competition for a graduate level course
given at the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, New Zealand. It presents a high
level design of an automated telemetering system for tracking and monitoring a number of
land-based animals as small as a rabbit. The primary purpose of the system is to monitor
both desirable and undesirable species of wildlife in the New Zealand bush in order to
better understand their living habits and environmental requirements.
The typical conditions monitored are body temperature, moisture levels, light intensity,
physical activity, and heart rate. All critical aspects of the telemetering system have been
specified, including the sensors, transmitter/receiver, and telemetry packet and frame
design. A calculation of the link budget for the system has been performed.
