Mejoramiento del enlace de comunicación inalámbrica entre un dron y una estación terrena: programa en matlab para procesar la información de la calidad del enlace de telemetría de un UAV.

Abstract

This project includes the design and implementation of an interface in Matlab that allows the processing of telemetric files produced by flight plans of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), focusing on the projection of graphs of the parameters involved in the quality of the telemetry link. Chapter 1 contains general theoretical information about the definition, classification and applications of UAVs, as well as information about their communication systems and concepts about the link budget, where different aspects that influence losses in the communication link are involved. Chapter 2 describes the interface design process where the different functionalities involved in the visualization of the graphics are presented, as well as the analysis and selection of the most important parameters about the telemetry link, for later the implementation with the help of the App Designer in Matlab. Chapter 3 presents the functional tests of the interface and the analysis of results focused on the identification of correlations between the different parameters. Finally, the application is used with a recent log file, in order to determine the best combination of antenna alignments present in the UAV and in the base station.
