Abstract

This article describes telemetry tests with the Advanced Receiver II (ARX IT) in Compatibility Test Area 21. The ARX IT was operated in parallel with a Block-III Receiver/baseband processor assembly combination (BLK-III/BPA) and a BlockIII Receiver/subcarrier demodulation assembly/symbol synchronization assembly combination (BLK-LI/SDA/SSA). The telemetry simulator assembly provided the test signal for all three configurations, and the symbol signal-to-noise ratio as well as the symbol error rates were measured and compared. Furthermore, bit-error rates were also measured by the system performance test computer for all three systems. Results indicate that the ARX-II telemetry performance is comparable and sometimes superior to the BLK-III/BPA and BLK-II/SDA/SSA combinations.
