Elektronik Vadisi (Electronic Valley), the organizer of these seminars, for years now is a web portal and electronic magazine. Electronic Valley took the all responsibility to make this seminar better than ever. Mr. Richard Fielding, speaker of ACRA CONTROL, says that since attending these seminars from the beginning, he believes that there is such a growing level of interest from the growing Turkish Aerospace test and avionics industry that it does merit holding the Avionics Seminar once per year. In the 4th seminar, he will give two presentations. In the first session, he will point out the basic telemetry principals that cover the RF link components, standards, settings, diversity and RF link analysis. In the second session, he will explain the advanced telemetry principals that cover digital modulation / demodulation types, smart source selection and encryption.
