Long Range Communication System via Aircraft
Annotation in Czech
V001 Camera system connected to the base station. This system will provide visual data for payload application and will be controlled remotely by commands from a human operator using the payload application on a PC or even a laptop. V002 Design and development of a suitable power source for retranslation unit build into the UAV. Development of HW board, firmware development, integration. V003 Developing the payload application that will process and visualize data gained through the proposed wireless data link. V004 Connector between base station and power supply and PC/laptop using preferably ethernet interface. V005 Developing of the L-RACOMS data link based on OFDMA technology. Data flow, measurement passing, modulation determination, control messages, communication scenarios. Retranslation unit powered from a UAV on-board power supply. Including transmitter, receiver, PA/LNA, antenna. Development of base station with transmitter, receiver, antenna, PA/LNA.
