BENEFITS AND TECHNIQUES FOR INCREASED POWER EFFICIENCY IN MODERN TELEMETRY TRANSMITTERS

ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / With recent developments in telemetry transmitter technologies, significantly greater DC to RF
power efficiencies can be achieved. These new high efficiency transmitter designs may impact
overall system design trade-offs by reducing the system size and weight requirements for
batteries, heat sinks, and cabling. Furthermore, these fully DC isolated, next generation ARTM
Tier 0, I and II enabled devices offer unique options to the platform designer in EMI/EMC
control and system design. Advanced manufacturing techniques coupled with adaptive
microprocessor control promises enhanced functionality, improved performance and reduced
unit costs.
The paper presents the performance of a new, high efficiency, telemetry transmitter topology and
the possible system benefits involved with the application of this advanced transmitter
technology within modern and legacy telemetry platforms. Specific sub-assembly circuit design
techniques will be discussed and compared with prior design approaches.
