DESIGN OF ALTIMETER MODULE FOR USE ON BOARD OF UAV

Abstract

The aim of my work was to design an altimeter module for an unmanned aerial vehicle. At first, there have to be analyzed possible methods of measuring altitude. Based on the chosen solution, the selection of the sensors needed for the height measurement was performed. After the selection, design of specific solutions to the electric scheme together with the board using the selected sensors had to be made and the algorithm for data processing was developed. The designed altimeter module can serve to stabilize the unmanned aerial machine in flight space but also, as a sensing element landing system.
