TELEMETRY

CBT-610 Transmitter

 

The CBT-610 transmitter is a car-based L-band RF transmitter for telemetry data.  Data is transmitted as an approx 2MHz wide signal in the 1450-1650MHz portion of the L-band.

 

Telemetry data is primarily transferred to the CBT-610 unit from the on-car host unit via HDLC or ARCNET.  Payload RF telemetry data rates of up to 2Mbps are supported.  Retransmitted data handshaking for improved lap coverage is not required at many circuits, but may be provided using a small companion UHF modem (the CBX-450).
