Radio frequency

30 Jul 2019

I have a moving vehicle which I need to communicate with.

Radio frequency has its limits with distance.

My question is if I take an aerostat ballon to 400m high

Place a antenna attached to a tracker  To always send the waves to the vehicle.

Will that work?

Also how do I  tranmit to the aerostat antenna from the ground control 400m down ?

Any ideas?

    I don't believe that's practical in the way described over such distances to/from a moving vehicle with a whip antenna, using any known legal unlicensed spectrum. You can calculate it here, if you know…

    You could use something like LoRa to relay GPS location and send directions, but you would need to find some other way of sending video. As Shabaz suggested an LTE cellular link is about the only solution…

    Hi Oliver, There's not enough information to answer fully (e.g. amount of information, and rate, and it's unclear if your communication needs to be bidirectional, and between which two locations - is the…

    Hi Oliver,

     

    Can you check TI-CC1120 based solution?

    TIDC-CC1120-LRM-868-915MHZ Sub-1GHz Wireless Long Range Reference Design with CC1120 (868 to 915 MHz) | TI.com

    Hi Aswin,

     

    I'm not sure that would work with CC1120 at that data rate to those distances, because they are using special coding at low bitrate to get the distances (and even if it was, it is not legal to transmit except in bursts (there is a duty cycle restriction, I cannot recall the specifics).

    Yeh I agree, I just checked the datasheet.  -123 dBm at 1.2 kbps.
