Part II — AKT-14 airborne telemeter

The AKT-14 UNIT shown in the block diagram of Fig. 1 is the airborne portion of the AN/UKR-7 Telemeter. Information originates as electrical signals in transducers such as strain gages at a level in the order of five millivolts. These signals are amplified by individual amplifiers to about ten volts. Each of the 32 channels is electronically sampled at a rate of 750 samples per second and commutated onto a single bus. Each of these information samples, of which there are 24,000 per second, is coded into an eight-digit binary code. This code consists of eight active plus one inactive, or blank, digits. The resultant coded information is transmitted to the ground by an fm radio link or it may be recorded on magnetic tape in the aircraft.
