Abstract

Our current activities are focusing on the research and development of a data communication system for unmanned aerial vehicle applications with the features of bi-directional data flow, radio navigation and ranging. The system is in the implementation phase by using software defined radio architecture. The heart of the system is a Xilinx FPGA combined with an SDR chip of Analog Devices Inc. The result is a small form factor MIMO capable hardware with high signal processing power required by the real-time modulation, demodulation and beamforming tasks. In this paper the system description, the hardware platform and test results will be presented.
