The History of Wireless Technology and Recent Developments Towards Modern Transmitters
This white paper looks at the early developments in electromagnetic theory and electronics (the 1800s to 1960s) and the modern era of electronics (1960s to present). It discusses the current technologies finding their way into modern transmitters.
Video Compression Quality and Performance for Airborne IP Cameras
There is increasing demand for high-quality HD video for airborne applications such as flight test instrumentation (FTI). Ideally, new HD cameras can reduce the weight and difficulty of installing wiring, and enable data to be coherently combined with images through built-in compression.
The Wright Data: Enhancing Aircraft System Monitoring and Reducing Unscheduled Maintenance
This white paper discusses the problem of inefficient maintenance, lack of access to the right data, and how aircraft can be retrofitted with instrumentation to more quickly identify impending failures, rapidly repair them, and minimize aircraft downtime.
Integrated Data Acquisition Solutions for Aerospace Platforms with Highly Restrictive Space and Weight Requirements and Harsh Environmental Conditions
Space and weight are key factors in designing, mounting, and installing data acquisition systems on UAV and missile development programs. Pat Quinn discusses an integrated and expandable solution.
