TM Smorgasbord
In this educational series, written and presented by Terry Hill, get a little taste of “all things telemetry.”
Day 1
This session covers performance metrics and continuous-phase modulation (Tier 0, Tier 1, and Tier II), then starts into the topic of demodulation, examining trellis vs. single-symbol.
Day 2
This session continues the subject of demodulation, covering the Data Quality Metric, diversity combining, and synchronization. It then moves on to channel impairments, with details on adaptive equalization as one impairment-mitigation technique.

Day 3
The training continues with a review of five more impairment-mitigation techniques – Best Source Selection, Best Channel Selection, Space-Time Coding (STC), Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) Coding, and auto-tracking antennas – then wraps up with a look at using all the tools together and a performance comparison and summary.
