A radiotelemetry transmitter for transmitting temperatures from small animals.
A small, reliable temperature-telemetry transmitter was designed and tested for use in small laboratory animals. It transmits a continuous signal that makes it very reliable. It can be constructed of standard small parts and contains and electric watch battery as a source of power. Two models were developed. One transmits at 100 MHz and its signal can be received on a standard FM tuner. The other model transmits at 40 MHz and provides a longer battery life.
