What is Radio Telemetry?
In its broadest sense, telemetry can be defined as the art and science of conveying information from one location to another.With radio telemetry, radio signals are utilized to convey that information. The tracking method of choice for most freshwater research is radio telemetry. Biologists can equip trout with amazingly small radio transmitters and track their movements and behavior with the aid of receivers. Radio telemetry system designs commonly utilize aerial antennas to establish “listening” zones to detect signals.
