Miniature wireless data communication system for micro air vehicles

A miniature wirelessdata communication system was developed for use in a micro air vehicle (MAV). This paper focuses on the attitude detector system which is small, light and accurate. The digital communication can provide better security, higher transmission rate and better quantity. Compared with traditional communication systems, this miniature wireless data communication system has better disturbance resistance and lower error probability (10-6) for distances up to 1 500 m. The communication system integrated with a miniature microelectromechanical system (MEMS) azimuthlevel detector was tested on a 3axis simulator which can simulate the real movement of an MAV. The results show that the miniature wirelessdata communication system reliably measures and transmits the attitude which can be used to control the MAV.
