A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF RADIO-FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE IN RADIAC-TELEMETRY SYSTEMS

Abstract

A qualitative evaluation was made of the effects of radio frequency interference (RFI) and bandwidh limitation on the accuracy and reliability of transmitted data from a typical nuclear radiation instrument coupled to a standard telemetry system. Significant errors resulted from RFI. These errors demonstrated the need for RF isolation in high impedance elements of nuclear radiation instruments coupled to telemetry equipment or operating in RF environments. Bandwidth limitation did not significantly affect the accuracy or reliability of the pulsed output system used; however, noise reduced data reliability at very low pulse repetition rates. (Author)
