Abstract

The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) system, including the drone of a variety of fields, which has become an issue and utilized in various fields, has begun to develop in military fields and is actively developed in the commercial field. In various types of UAV systems, which have been developed recently, the communication system that is responsible for the connection between the ground control unit and the UAVs is called the data link. Especially, common data link used in military UAVs is required stability of communication to transmit surveillance and reconnaissance intelligence information and UAV's status. In this paper, the requirement for a modem was defined to secure the communication stability of the common data link used in surveillance UAVs. And, the design of the data link modem to satisfy applicable specifications was proposed. The proposed modem design was verified through the performance measurement of the implemented systems.

최근 다양한 분야에서 이슈가 되고 활용되는 드론 등을 포함한 무인기체계는 군사분야에서부터 시작되어 다양한 민간분야에서도 활발하게 연구 개발되고 있다. 최근 개발되는 다양한 형태의 무인기체계에서, 지상의 조종장치와 무인기간의 연결을 담당하는 통신체계를 데이터링크라고 한다. 특히, 군 분야의 무인기에서 획득된 감시/정찰용 영상정보 및 무인기의 상태정보를 실시간으로 지상으로 전송하기 위한 공용데이터링크는 특성상 통신의 안정성 확보를 우선으로 한다. 본 논문에서는 정찰용 무인기에서 사용되는 공용 데이터링크의 안정성 확보를 위한 디지털 변복조기의 소요규격을 파악하고, 해당 규격을 만족하기 위한 설계를 제안하였다. 설계된 시스템의 타당성은 구현된 시스템의 성능측정을 통하여 검증하였다.
