摘要： A circuit card assembly is described. The circuit card assembly adapts a host circuit card assembly of a host device with an expansion card. By such adaption, the host device may communicate with an access point of an avionics network. The circuit card assembly includes an interface for receiving power from the host circuit card assembly. The circuit card assembly then continuously and selectively provides power to a second interface based on the availability of aircraft power. The second interface receives the expansion card. The circuit card assembly also includes one or more coaxial RF connectors for receiving modulated signals from the expansion card. The circuit card assembly also includes an antenna which transmits radio waves based on the modulated signals. A system for communication to an access point of an avionics network includes the circuit card assembly.

摘要： An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having wings stowed against a fuselage of the UAV in a first arrangement is disclosed. Methods and systems for deploying the wings into a second arrangement are disclosed. For example, after a launch of the UAV, the UAV monitors for at least one pre-set condition. The at least one pre-condition being a pre-condition associated with deploying wings of the UAV into the second arrangement. Upon detecting the at least one pre-set condition, the wings of the UAV are deployed into a second arrangement. Deploying the wings comprises activating, in response to detecting the at least one pre-set condition associated with the UAV, a gearbox configured to transition the wings from the first arrangement to the second arrangement. Roll control may be maintained throughout launch and deployment.

摘要： An antenna system provides greater range than conventional omnidirectional antennas while using substantially the same or less power by a system of antenna components, arranged so as to permit in the aggregate transmission over an effective 360 degrees as an omnidirectional antenna, while permitting selection of one of the components so as to reduce the amount of energy required. One application for the invention is use on drones or other lightweight vehicles where weight and power are significant considerations, but where range is also a significant objective.

摘要： An aircraft nose radome has a first portion that is transparent to X band microwave energy, and a second portion that is transparent to W band microwave energy. The second portion may be an insert that is secured to the radome at an opening formed therein. The insert may have a multi-layer structure with first, second and third layers, a fourth layer of foam between the first and second layers, and a fifth layer of foam between the second and third layers. The insert may include a plurality of spaced-apart, elongated reinforcing members or ribs between the first and second layers and between the second and third layers that extend along a longitudinal direction defined by the insert.

摘要： A UAV includes a frame, and multiple propelling devices, a flight control system, an image capturing device, and an antenna that are provided at the frame. The flight control system communicates with the propelling devices and controls the propelling devices to provide power for flight. The antenna includes two oppositely arranged antenna assemblies. Each antenna assembly includes a feed band, and an oscillator including a first frequency band branch, a second frequency band branch, and a third frequency band branch arranged side by side on a side of the feed band. The second frequency band branch is between the first frequency band branch and the third frequency band branch. The second frequency band branch is shorter than the first frequency band branch but longer than the third frequency band branch. The first frequency band branch includes a main body and a bending part at an end of the main body.
