CREATING A NAVIGATION AND AUTOPILOT SYSTEM FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES USING NI SINGLE-BOARD RIO AND NI LABVIEW

Abstract

Onboard avionics systems within unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are complicated, especially for automatic flight. Due to operation in 3D space, the system is subject to crash when it loses stability. Remote UAV (RUAV) system dynamics are inherently nonlinear and unstable. To create an onboard navigation, guidance, and control system, we needed a highly reliable, real-time embedded system with sufficient computing capacity. From a functional point of view, precise yawing (directional pointing) under stabilization and trajectoryfollowing capabilities are essential, so the main flight control computer (FCC) had to integrate various navigation sensors; data acquisition; a PWM servo control; and a fast data processing unit. For flexible communication with the ground control station (GCS) and flying UAV, we needed a communication data network. The fundamental considerations for this project included a high-performance, easy-to-develop embedded system; real-time monitoring to prevent accidents; high-rate sensor data acquisition for high-dynamic RUAV control; latitude control and an autopilot system for operation without a trained RC manual pilot; and lightweight hardware.

Abstract

The simple structure of Wien bridge oscillator with automatic amplitude control circuit is offered and discussed. The system of differential equations for this oscillator was derived and used to find and investigate the stationary mode of the oscillator operation and stability of this mode. Noise properties of this oscillator are also investigated and discussed.

Abstract

The impact of the microwave signal statistical characteristics on the intermodulation distortion in the power amplifier is analyzed and the ways to measure this distortion are compared. A new correlation method for estimating the intermodulation distortion is proposed. This new method and the ACPR method are compared. The estimates of the intermodulation distortion of two-tone, QPSK and OFDM signals with various output back-offs are given.
