This paper is a result of the work done by the authors in the field of movement evaluation at low speed in the atmosphere and low costs of the movement execution. Theoretical and constructive solutions are offered for telemetry of the following features of movement: instant and average speed movement sense and direction, instant position related to a fixed referential. The presented solution, the Doppler radio telemetry system with active fixed referential-described in the paper-was practically realized and experimentally its utility has been demonstrated.

Radio-based signalling devices will play an important role in future generations of remote patient monitoring equipment, both at home and in hospital. Ultimately, it will be possible to sample vital signs from patients, whatever their location and without them necessarily being aware that a measurement is being taken. This paper reviews current methods for the transmission by radio of physiological parameters over ranges of 0.3, 3 and 30 m, and describes the radiofrequency hardware required and the carrier frequencies commonly used. Future developments, including full duplex systems and the use of more advanced modulation schemes, are described. The paper concludes with a case study of a human temperature telemeter built to indicate ovulation. Clinical results clearly show the advantage to be had in adopting radio biotelemetry in this instance.

Elucidating the various behavioral and ecological uses of animal habitats is the basis for the conservation and management of animal species. Therefore, tracking the movement of animals is necessary. Biotelemetry is used for tracking the movement of animals. By mounting a radio telemetry receiver and antenna on a drone, the time and labor required for surveying animals can be reduced. In addition, it is easy to track difficult-to-reach areas such as rice paddies and forests, and the environment is not invaded by the survey. We think that this drone radio telemetry will be the best method for tracking the movement of small amphibians, such as frogs. However, in order to put the method to practical use, the accuracy of the system needs to be verified. Approximately 26 ha of area in Sogabe, Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan was investigated in this study. We selected and validated the location where frogs are likely to enter farmlands. The location where the detection of movement is expected to be stable are 5 cm deep areas in the soil, gaps in masonry, and under plastic bags, whereas areas in which the detection is likely to be unstable are areas deeper than 5 cm in the soil, covered concrete channels, and grass. By calculating the geographic center, the location of the nanotag could be estimated with an accuracy of less than 16 m. We successfully showed that the drone radio telemetry system used in this study is capable of detecting and tracking the movement of animals with high spatial and temporal resolutions. However, we suggest that the detection of movement may be interrupted depending on the location of the target animal and more than three detections are needed to guarantee the accuracy of the estimation.
