Radio telemetry reliabilitydepends on:
• Grounding is very important• Surge protection at multiple
levels
LightningProtection
• Signal buffer at receiving end• 20dB recommended• Atmospheric conditions• Keep coax lengths short
FadeMargin
• Only transmit what is needed• Slower rate = fewer errorsData Rate
