Description
本公开涉及无线控制技术领域,尤其涉及一种无人机的通信***、设备、方法以及计算装置。
随着无线控制技术的发展,无人机在生产领域和日常生活中都得到了广泛的应用。除了常见的无人机和遥控器双侧设备构成的通信***外,多设备互动的应用场景在无人机领域也得到越来越多的关注。例如,在地面侧引入头戴式显示器后,通过与遥控器和无人机配合,可以实现无人机的第一视角飞行。又例如,很多第三方设备厂商针对无人机侧开发出独立的OSD(On-Screen Display,屏上显示)和飞控设备,从而为无人机应用提供了丰富的扩展和选择。
另一方面,多设备互动也对无人机应用的通信***提出了挑战。目前通常采用两套硬件***来分别实现无人机的图像传输(以下也称“图传”)和遥控信令传输功能。对于图传部分,无人机上的图传模块将相机拍摄到的画面实时传输到地面,由地面侧设备使用接收模块来接收并显示在屏幕或者头戴式显示器上。对于遥控信令传输部分,用户操作遥控器发出的遥控信息由无人机上的遥控接收模块接收到并通过相应接口输出到飞控模块,进而由飞控模块转化为电调控制指令控制电机转速等参数。
上述两套***的功能彼此独立,在各自的频点上都要占用一部分频带资源。同时,两套***意味着需要两根天线,不仅占用了无人机上宝贵的空间资源,而且两根天线的发射方向图也会受到彼此的影响。另外,两套***通常由不同的产品供应商独立设计,二者很难在设计初就能考虑到将来需要避免的结构干涉问题。
应当理解的是,以上的一般描述仅是对相关技术的示例性解释,并不表示属于本公开的现有技术。

在一个实施例中,第二无线通信设备13包括控制无人机11的遥控器,其基于用户的操作采集模拟信号,并数字化为遥控信号(即上述外部信号)后通过教练线的PPM(Pulse Position Modulation,脉位调制)信号发送至第一无线通信设备12。
在一个实施例中,无人机11所设相机采集的图像信号通过图传模块的接口输入该图传模块,经编码后通过第二无线通信模块110发送到上述第一无线通信设备12,第一无线通信设备12在完成图像信号的解码后在屏幕上显示出图传视频。另外,无人机11还利用上述第二无线通信模块110接收第一无线通信设备12转发的遥控信号,进而利用图传模块的SBUS总线或PPM接口输出至无人机11的飞控模块。在一个实施例中,第一无线通信模块120包括第一无线通信设备12的射频天线,第二无线通信模块110包括无人机11的射频天线。另外,第一无线通信设备12例如可包括头戴显示设备等穿戴式设备,或者其他能够配合第二无线通信设备13与无人机11通信的设备,本公开的实施例对此并无限制。
在一个实施例中,上述的上行信道14与下行信道15可以时分方式承载于同一个频点,也可以频分方式承载于两个不同的频点。与相关技术中图传信号和控制信号须在2.4GHz和5GHz通信频段各占一路不同,本实施例的上行信道14与下行信道15可以视当时无线信道干扰状况自由地在两个通信频段上切换,实现了频段占用的降低和***容量的增加。
