Abstract:
A method for autonomous two-way radio frequency communications between at least one first station and a second station, wherein the at least one first station is adapted to transmit at least one unique radio frequency signal to the second station, said method comprising the steps of:(a) transmitting the at least one unique radio frequency signal from the at least one first station; (b) receiving the at least one unique radio frequency signal with at least first and second antennas located on the second station; (c) determining which of said at least first and second antennas receiving the at least one unique radio frequency signal has a higher signal strength; (d) connecting a transmitter located on the second station to one of said at least first and second antennas determined to have received the at least one unique radio frequency signal having said higher signal strength; and (e) transmitting using said transmitter a first telemetry signal of monitored parameters of the second station over one of said at least first and second antennas connected to said transmitter.
