DESIGN OF A TM/TC LINK BETWEEN SMALL AIRCRAFT AND GROUND STATION¶

INTRODUCTION¶

The aim of this project is the design of a Telemetry and Command link between small aircrafts (ie TB20) and an antenna on top of ISAE building. There are different aspects in this work:

• regulatory aspects : we must pay for rights of emission on a given frequency band
• link budget aspects : some parameters can be adjusted to reach the wanted performance
• flight constraints have to be considered to allow a full time link

To summarize the system design constraints, we can fill the mission statement below:
