Abstract
A radiosonde has a novel and improved measuring circuitry for measuring atmospheric conditions, such as, temperature, humidity and pressure through the direct conversion of resistance and capacitance values into binary numbers. The binary numbers are transmitted in digital form along with calibration coefficients to a remote ground station. The measuring circuitry can be mounted on the same substrate with the pressure transducer, and the electrical connections between the pressure transducer and measuring circuitry are simplified by utilization of an offset diaphragm, pressure cell arrangement.
