Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of adjustable channel technology for UAV signals, specifically to an adjustable channel for UAV signal transmission and reception and its adjustment method. Background Technology

[0002] For exhaust emissions from mobile pollution sources such as ships, automobiles, off-road vehicles, construction machinery, and trains, environmental protection departments generally only conduct periodic inspections and spot checks, without real-time monitoring and assessment during their operation, thus lacking precise regulatory means. For stationary pollution sources such as power plants, chemical plants, steel mills, cement plants, industrial kilns, waste incineration plants, paper mills, paint shops, and oil refineries, although environmental protection departments have issued strict emission regulations, the monitoring results from fixed monitoring devices are easily falsified, making it difficult to guarantee the reliability and accuracy of the monitoring results. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft that use radio remote control or are controlled by their own programs. UAVs can conduct aerial photography, are highly persistent and maneuverable, and can even use infrared night vision mode at night to ensure all-weather real-time monitoring tasks.

[0003] Current drone detection technologies primarily rely on radar, acoustic, video, and passive radio frequency (RF) signal detection. Radar detection offers good monitoring capabilities for drones, but its high cost and operational complexity hinder its widespread adoption. Acoustic and video detection are susceptible to environmental interference, while passive RF signal detection is a superior method, characterized by low cost, reliable performance, high sensitivity, and ease of maintenance, making it easy to promote and flexibly deploy. Drone signal control relies on wireless RF signal transmission and reception, with varying signal strengths across different channels. Furthermore, data conversion occurs via a digital-to-analog (ADC). Since ADCs have a limited number of bits, excessively strong signals exceed their conversion range, leading to signal limiting. Conversely, weak signals prevent accurate conversion. Existing technologies employ single-gain adjustment channels to regulate signal gain, but this approach fails to meet the gain adjustment requirements for signals with varying strengths. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable channel and adjustment method for UAV signal transceiver, which has the advantage of adjusting the contact between different channel data cores and corresponding interface data cores by rotating the switching disk to achieve channel switching and thus achieve optimal signal strength, thereby solving the problems in the prior art.
