Ground Control Stations (GCS) are groups of ground-based software and hardware that let UAV operators control or interact with a drone, either by setting parameters for independent operation or by enabling direct control of the UAV.
What is a UAV?
UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), also known as drones, are primarily used by military forces within and outside the US. You will also find UAVs in other sectors where they are used for agricultural and commercial purposes. However, a major concern with UAV design is the EMI noise during their operation.
APITech's power filters are a solution for this! Our EMI filter products suppress EMI on both power and signal lines.
The Need for EMI Filter Assemblies in UGCS
EMI, or Electromagnetic Interference, is the noise caused by unwanted electrical signals. This noise is generated from switching electrical current, which can be suppressed by using an EMI Filter.
How Does an EMI Filter Work?
An APITech EMI filter consists of capacitors and inductors, connected to form LC circuits. The inductors let low-frequency currents travel through and then stop high-frequency currents that are not needed. The capacitors, on the other hand, redirect the high-frequency sound away from the filter's input.
