1. Explain why the radio transmission is mostly used in Telemetry

- Radio transmissions have a lot of advantages in telemetry compared to other mediums such as; ease of
use, cost, aircraft tracking, high turbulence use, data tracking and area deployment. Radio
communication is used for aerospace work and for supervisory systems in which it is impractical to
provide wire line links. Communications facilities for telemetry consist primarily of radio or wire links.
Alternatives such as light beams or sonic signals are used in a few cases, but environmental factors (e.g.,
atmospheric obstructions) and local masking noises make them impractical for most applications.

2. Explain how transducer works

- The transducer converts the physical stimulus to be measured, such as temperature, vibration, or
pressure, into an electrical signal and thus operates as the actual measuring instrument.

3. If the Radio Transmission is more practical to use in Telemetry, why are there still using wired
communication mediums?

- For public utility installations in built-up areas, radio communication is usually ruled out by the
difficulty of finding antenna sites and unobstructed line of sight radio paths. In such cases, cables and
line links are used.

4. In Measurement Identification, why does the Minimum and Maximum possible value must be
known?

5. How can you say that the information you are receiving is reliable?
