Sistema de comunicación y transmisión de video en tiempo real a través de drones a larga distancia

Abstract

One of the major technological trends worldwide is the development and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) civil and military fields. Nowadays, video transmission has become a trend, and as technology advances, the human being demands more sophisticated technological tools. In this case we are looking at better quality real-time video transmission which increases even more with the help of a drone allowing the user to have an overview of areas difficult to access. This article shows the design and implementation of a wireless communications system which allows transmission of video in real time (Streaming) from the DJI Matrice 600 Pro industrial drone in flight controlled from a ground base station. Software with SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology was used for this project, which has helped complete several stages of the system. With the exception of elements such as antennas or amplifiers, all of the blocks have been implemented normally. On the other hand, the use of hardware was minimized to the use of a computer with LabVIEW, USRPs, a drone, a camera and the antennas. For the verification of the results, the respective tests were carried out in a lab.
