In which conventional civil frequency bands are the control signals used by drones mostly? The device consists of a handheld host and a battery pack. The handheld host is a three-band transmitter antenna integrated design, which can simultaneously generate 2.4GHz/5.8GHz frequency UAV flight control jamming signals and satellite positioning jamming signals, through the UAV's uplink flight control channel and satellite positioning channel Blocking interference causes it to lose flight control commands and satellite positioning information, making it unable to fly normally. Depending on the design of the UAV, it will have the control effect of returning, landing and falling.  In the offensive and defensive situation, there is usually a certain distance between the drone operator and the sensitive area that needs to be fortified. The drone took off from the vicinity of the manipulator, and then gradually approached the fortified area. When the drone arrives near the fortified area and can carry out effective reconnaissance or sabotage activities, the distance from the drone to the fortified area is usually much closer than the distance between it and the operator.  In the above situation, all uplink signals sent by the operator (sent from the ground to the drone) will be relatively weak due to the long distance. With the same power, because the defender is closer to the drone, the signal will be stronger than the manipulator. The downlink signal received by the defender will also be stronger than the manipulator. But the goal of defense against the downlink signal is to prevent the operator from receiving it, and the distance from the drone to the operator at this time is about the same as the distance from the defender to the operator. Therefore, the blocking of the downward signal does not have a topographical advantage.  It can be seen from the above analysis that interference with uplink signals is more beneficial. It just so happens that the uplink signal is usually a remote control signal, which is directly related to the control of the drone. If the uplink signal is interfered, the drone will lose immediate control and can only operate according to the steps preset by the program (usually landing or hovering). The downlink signals are mainly telemetry and images. Although there may be sensitive information, it is not as important as the control signal. In addition, the defender is not dominant in the situation and usually takes a laissez-faire attitude to the downlink signal.  GPS relies on medium orbit satellites. Generally speaking, the signal reaches the surface of the earth after tens of thousands of kilometers, which is already very weak. Therefore, it is easier to interfere with GPS signals when the UAV is very close to the defender. If you want to deceive it, you need to use more complicated methods to simulate GPS satellites, which is much more difficult.  At present, the control of UAVs mostly uses radio commu...

Industrial wireless network is unreliable? Not dare to use it? That is because the design and implementation work has not been done well! Expected to finish reading in 10 minutes Industrial environments have many common attributes: they are dirty, no isy, and cause many obstacles or interferences to radio frequency propagation. In the long run, it will be difficult for consumer wireless devices to work normally in this harsh environment. The equipment must be tailored to the operating environment-industrial installations do not follow standard design rules. On-site investigations are useful, but the presence of electrical noise and mobile equipment, large metal structures, and even the presence of factories in the industrial process may have a significant impact on signal propagation. Industrial wireless access point Compared with office installations, industrial installations require more wireless access points due to the large number of signal interruptions. Due to the topology of industrial facilities, it may be necessary to use directional antennas. For example, a warehouse requires the use of directional antennas to guide radio frequency down to narrow aisles between metal racks. These metal racks may be filled with metal or some material that absorbs radio frequency. There may be electric motors and moving objects everywhere in the factory floor, such as forklifts and overhead cranes. Certain manufacturing requires liquid coolants. These liquid coolants can generate vapor, spray, or splash, which can disrupt transmission or cause wireless devices to get grease or water. Some processes require the use of electric arc welding, which will generate a powerful broad-spectrum noise signal, which will interfere with many radio frequency signals. The first parameter to consider is the working environment. Considering the above situation, the most obvious problem is the device casing. Choosing the right casing is the most basic technical indicator, which can protect the access point from environmental factors. Industrial cabinets using NEMA definition or IP classification system can simplify the design specifications, but the equipment engineering department is required to classify the specific area where the equipment is installed. It is not the correct method to imagine which cabinets are suitable, and it will lead to premature and unexpected system failures. . All industrial environments are different and need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Another option is to place the wireless device outside the harsh environment and install a distributed antenna system (DAS) to provide radio frequency to the required area; however, this is usually impractical and will greatly increase the installation cost. A thorough understanding of the signal propagation through the distributed antenna system is required, and the operation through the cable and directional signal splitter or coupler system is required. The design of this system may be difficult. A...

How to choose the antenna? Expected to finish reading in 8 minutes Antenna Selection Guide An antenna is a device that radiates radio frequency signals from a transmission line into the air or receives it from the air onto a transmission line. It can also be regarded as an impedance converter or an energy converter, which converts the guided wave propagated on the transmission line. Transform into electromagnetic waves propagating in an unbounded medium, or vice versa. For the design of a wireless transceiver device used in a radio frequency system, the design and selection of the antenna is an important part. A good antenna system can achieve the best communication distance. The size of the same type of antenna is proportional to the wavelength of the radio frequency signal. The lower the frequency, the larger the antenna required. Antenna classification Antennas can be divided into external antennas and internal antennas by their installation positions. Those installed inside the device are called internal antennas, and those installed outside the device are called external antennas. For small-sized products such as handheld devices, wearable designs, and smart homes, built-in antennas are commonly used, with high integration and beautiful appearance. The Internet of Things and smart hardware products need to transmit data online, so they all need to use antennas. The smaller the space and the more frequency bands, the more complicated the antenna design is. The external antennas are generally standard products. You can use the antennas of the required frequency bands without debugging, plug and play. For example, express cabinets, vending machines, etc., generally use magnetic external antennas, which can be attached to the iron shell. These antennas cannot be placed in a tin cabinet. Metal will shield the antenna signal, so they can only be placed outside. This article focuses on the classification and selection methods of the antenna, and introduces the relevant information of the antenna. 1.1 External antenna The external antennas can be divided into omnidirectional antennas and directional antennas according to the radiation angle and direction of the radiation field. Space radiation pattern of omnidirectional antenna Omnidirectional antenna: that is, it shows uniform radiation in 360° on the horizontal pattern, which is commonly referred to as non-directional, and shows a beam with a certain width on the vertical pattern. In general, the smaller the lobe width, The greater the gain. External omnidirectional antennas mainly include sucker antennas, fiberglass antennas and glue stick antennas. Directional antenna spatial radiation pattern Directional antenna: refers to an antenna that emits and receives electromagnetic waves particularly strong in one or several specific directions, while transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves in other directions is zero or extremely small. The purpose of using a directional transmitting antenna i...

How do you deploy an industrial wireless network? --These not inconsiderable details determine its success or failure! Expected to finish reading in 5 minutes   In industrial facilities, the use of wireless networks can create enormous value and help companies save significant costs. With well-thought-out and properly designed implementations, it is possible to provide information from point A to point B with the same reliability as a wired network. It saves money and brings more convenience to users. There are many variables and unknowns to consider when designing a wireless network: the people who make up the network may not be able to "see" the whole picture.   With a wired network, people can know where data is going and what else is "in the network" and can predict network performance. The same is true for wireless systems if the right steps are taken in the design and verification process. When you start designing a wireless network, it is important to define the who, what, when, where, and why associated with the device.   Who will support and maintain the wireless network?   When discussing the implementation of a wireless network for the first time, it is important to find out who is supporting the project and who will use it and be responsible for maintaining the network. Because these people may come from completely different groups, they may have different views on how to implement a wireless network.   Will the engineering team or the management team be supporting the project? Each team has a different goal. The engineering team aims to find the best solution to a problem, and does not necessarily focus on the cost of the system while it solves the problem. The management team may be more focused on the return on investment and cost of the system. To make the design process more manageable, you need to understand the composition of the teams that can be involved (or sometimes both). And how your needs can be met with a logical solution is very important. Figure 1: Typically, TO engineers prefer to have access to data in a visual and readable form in order to interpret it effectively. Image credit: Phoenix Contact   For the daily work of the device, Operations Technology (OT) engineers focus on application-related network data. They want to access data visually and legibly so that it can be interpreted effectively, for example, the Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens or web pages of Ethernet devices. Information technology (IT) engineers are also interested in the data, but more interested in the raw formats. They want to be able to use everyday tools to manage, maintain and configure wireless systems. When managing these functions, IT engineers prefer to use a command line interface rather than a network administrator.   Identifying Wireless Network Scenarios   In the process of designing a wireless network, the details of specific application scenarios...
