Wireless positioning receiver for Uavionics

Abstract

The project is concerned with developing a tag and receiver to be mounted on a quadcopter for positioning of the quadcopter. The work involves hardware and software. For hardware, the work involves printed circuit design to interfacing inertia sensors, low power uC and UWB impulse radio transceiver front-end. The firmware development involves writing C codes to read data from the inertia sensors through I2C interface and package the data into a frame format suitable for transmitting through the UWB impulse radio transceiver.
