Software Defined Radio MIMO Telemetry Transmitter

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a small, low-cost, and flexible telemetry transmitter that can be used for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. In the intended application, the transmitter will collect data from sensors on small quad copters or drones, regarding the vehicle's attitude, location, movement, and other flight data. This will be combined into a single data stream, and base-band modulation applied by a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The FPGA output will control a separate RF modulation board, which will generate a pair of RF signals suitable for use in a 2x2 MIMO system. The original application uses the 902- 928MHz ISM band. The modulation format can be altered by changing the software for the FPGA.
