Telemetry, as a method, encompasses the techniques and systems used to remotely measure, collect, and transmit quantitative data from sensors or instruments to a receiving station for monitoring, analysis, or control. It typically involves signal conditioning, encoding, and modulation at the point of measurement, followed by transmission over wired or wireless channels and subsequent decoding, filtering, and integration into data acquisition or control frameworks. Telemetry methods are central to closed-loop control, fault detection, and performance assessment in fields such as aerospace, environmental monitoring, and biomedical engineering, where direct, continuous, or proximal access to the measured variables is impractical or impossible.
