Experimental Evaluation of an SDR-Based UAV Localization System.

UAV communications have seen a rapid rise in the last few years. The drone class of UAV has particularly become more widespread around the world, and illicit behavior using drones has become a problem. Therefore, localization, tracking, and even taking control of drones have also gained interest.

SpaceWire-to-UWB Wireless Interface Units for Intra-spacecraft Communication Links.

In the context of the Eu:CROPIS mission requirements, this paper aims to test and validate an intra-spacecraft wireless transmission carried between two SpW-to-UWB Wireless Interface Units (WIUs). The WIUs are designed to replace the on-board SpaceWire (SpW) connections of a spacecraft network. The novelty of this solution resides in prototyping and testing proprietary TRL6 WIUs for the implementation of both PDHU and CDHU units, which constitute a spacecraft network.
