Optically Powered and Controlled Drones Using Optical Fibers for Airborne Base Stations

Mobile communication services are crucial during emergency disasters anodized pearl price xbox and temporary events, and future mobile communication systems should be able to provide such services.Airborne base stations using drones are highly effective as stand-in base stations in areas where the ground base stations are inoperable or at temporary event sites.However, it is difficult for conventional drones to provide mobile communication services without interruption due to flight time limitations caused by their limited battery capacity.Thus, a drone drive kt196 torque converter with a non-interrupted power supply is urgently needed.In this study, we developed an airborne base station that enables drones to be driven and maneuvered by optical fibers.

We simultaneously transmitted radio frequency (RF) data signals for the airborne base station and control signals for the drone and evaluated the transmission performances of the RF signals and the controllability of the drone.Furthermore, we conducted a flight experiment on a medium-sized drone powered by optical fibers.
