The FM Telemetry Transmitter Module from Mistral is a one-watt, miniature, phase-locked FM transmitter that is ideally suited for rugged telemetry transmitter applications. Data rates of up to 14 Mbps (Bi-phase Linear) have been successfully transmitted and received using this module.

The Transmitter contains a shock hardened crystal oscillator with compact Phase Lock Loop synthesizer. The module requires a single, regulated supply voltage of 28V. The FM Transmitter has a fully matched 50ohm output network. The user can adjust frequencies in step size of 100KHz through a Graphical User Interface.

When fully encapsulated, the module can easily survive temperature range of -40 to +85° C, high vibration and shock upto 250G. The product is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to the performance specifications mentioned below.

RTI DDS use in SAAB 9LV Naval combat management systems - Video

RTI drove creation of the DDS standard and has been the definitive market leader since its adoption. First with support for both the DDS Application Programming Interface (API) and DDS-RTPS wire interoperability protocol, Connext DDS is proven in hundreds of unique product designs. More than 350,000 copies are deployed today.

The video shows a complete naval command and control product line that uses RTI Connext DDS as its communication backbone. Over 100 developers at SAAB use RTI products to develop the 9LV product line.

Integrating System and Software Engineering for Certifiable Avionics Applications : Whitepaper from Esterel Technologies

Avionics systems are complex systems that integrate hardware, communication media, have many interactions with other subsystems within or outside of the aircraft, and for the system discussed in this presentation, integrate software that must be developed according to DO-178B guidelines. System engineering and software engineering are two engineering disciplines that are historically handled by teams with different cultures. When their engineering processes are supported by or use different, incompatible tools, this often leads to difficult collaboration, with at some point redundant information, and inconsistencies.

This paper introduces a solution, based on standards, SysML for system modeling and on the renowned SCADE Suite® product from Esterel Technologies for the development of DO-178B certified software components.

Satellite-based SCADA System : Case Study from Mistral

Supervisory systems have revolutionized the industrial automation scenario all over the world. Almost all critical industrial infrastructure and processes are managed remotely from central control rooms, using computers and communications networks. One such industrial control system is SCADA; an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. The flow of gas and oil through pipes, management of a power grid,processing and distribution of water, operation of chemical plants, and the signaling network for railways, all use various forms of SCADA technology.

This case study highlights Mistral's expertise in designing the software for a satellite-based SCADA system used for the control and monitoring of sub-stations and power-grids.
