RF Testing for Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), also known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs is manually controlled by the remote control of a pilot on the ground, or autonomously controlled by onboard computers. In the past, UAVs have mostly been used for military and special operation applications. But it is gaining more civil applications now in the areas such as commercial aerial surveillance, journalism, commercial and motion picture filming, search and rescue, and nonmilitary security work, such as inspection of grid system.
Main components of a civil UAV usually include the frame, propellers (either fixed-pitch or variable-pitch), electric motors, flight controller, stabilization gimbal, camera, and wireless communication.
