RANGE COMMANDERS COUNCIL RCC DOCUMENT 119-06, TELEMETRY APPLICATIONS HANDBOOK (MAY 2006). This handbook provides practical information about telemetry (TM) system engineering and is intended to be useful to both system designers and operators. The main topic areas discussed include parameter optimization for the best data quality, radio frequency spectral occupancy, and the relationship of theory to "real-world" telemetry problems. The book is organized into the following four chapters: 1. Introduction 2. Telemetry signals and noise 3. Telemetry transmitting system characterization 4. Telemetry-receiving system characterization This document is complemented by a companion series, RCC Document 106, Telemetry Standards, and RCC Document 118, Test Methods For Telemetry Systems and Subsystems, Volume 1, Test Methods For Vehicle Telemetry Systems. The policy of the Telemetry Group is to update the telemetry standards and test methods as required, being consistent with advances in the state of the art. To determine the current revision status, contact the RCC Secretariat.

RANGE COMMANDERS COUNCIL (RCC) DOCUMENT 120-01, TELEMETRY SYSTEMS RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) HANDBOOK (DEC 2001). This document was prepared by the Range Commanders Council, Telemetry Group (RCC-TG), RF Systems Committee. It represents the initial release of the Telemetry Systems RF Handbook and is published as a “work in progress.” The RF Systems Committee objective is to develop this handbook as a useful document that will be beneficial to engineers and technicians working in the field of telemetry RF systems.

RANGE COMMANDERS COUNCIL (RCC) DOCUMENT 121-07, INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERS HANDBOOK (DEC 2007). This handbook is intended to give the instrumentation engineer the necessary background to understand the operation of an instrumentation system. Although this document identifies the main components and techniques of a typical instrumentation system, it is not intended to give an all-inclusive treatment of every possible instrumentation system scenario. Subsystems and topics include signal sources, signal conditioning, data collection, data formatting, telemetering, recording, and data reconstruction which includes demodulation, demultiplexing, and display. Also addressed are calibration and the related issues of measurement uncertainty and operational considerations. Each of the above subsystems is explained in detail as to its function and utility. This handbook will treat those portions of the instrumentation system not specifically addressed in the following Range Commanders Council (RCC) documents: a. RCC Document 120: Telemetry Systems Radio Frequency (RF) Handbook b. RCC Document 119: Telemetry (TM) Applications Handbooks c. RCC Document 118, Vol 1: Tests Methods for Vehicle Telemetry Systems

RCC DOCUMENT 501-97, UNIVERSAL DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM (UDS). The Range Commanders Council (RCC), recognizing the need for rapid turnaround support of range user requirements and the efficiencies to be derived from electronic word and data processing systems, has in this edition of the handbook, developed a Universal Documentation System (UDS) format adaptable to electronic processing. This handbook supersedes all previous issues of RCC document 501-90, volumes 1, 2, 3, and supplement 2. Existing programs may use the previous procedures and forms as agreed between the user and the support agency. All new programs developing documentation will use the procedures and formats contained in this handbook.
