- Abstract
- In order for UAV to be safely operated into national airspace and support various missions, the dedicated C-band frequencies, the 5030-5091 MHz and 5091-5150 MHz has been allocated in Korea for the drone control and mission data links, respectively. However, the support of control and mission links operated independently in the two frequency bands is challenging on small drones considering they have size, weight and power limitations. Therefore, the data exchange for control and mission between small drone and ground should be done via single communication link. In this paper, we propose a new waveform for an air-to-ground communication link, operating at the 5091-5150 MHz frequency band, that simultaneously supports drone control and mission data transmission.
