On the construction of ultraviolet communication line and orientation for controlling a small unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze methods for constructing an ultraviolet (UV) communication line and orientation for controlling a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In conditions of difficult terrain, the passage of radio waves is difficult, so it is necessary to use the optical range for communication and orientation. In the UV range, optical interference is significantly reduced and it is possible to create small-sized film antennas for UAVs. The characteristics of UV communication using film fluorescent antennas and multi-crystal semiconductor emitters are given. The UAV orientation method using onboard film antennas has been analyzed.
