Description

The UAV-H31-1 utilizes Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology in the 77–81GHz band to provide highly accurate, non-contact distance and height measurements. This principle allows it to distinguish between multiple targets, such as crop canopies and ground surfaces simultaneously, making it ideal for precision agriculture and terrain-following applications.

Engineered for integration into unmanned aerial systems, the sensor outputs processed height data via a simple UART serial protocol. Its compact, IP67-sealed aluminum housing protects the internal RF circuitry from moisture, dust, and mechanical vibration, ensuring stable performance across the full industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Key Features

  • High-frequency 77–81GHz FMCW radar ensures high resolution and immunity to environmental interference like fog, dust, and varying light.
  • Superior measurement accuracy of ±2mm enables precise altitude hold and terrain-following for autonomous UAVs.
  • Multi-target detection capability distinguishes between ground and object heights for advanced agricultural and mapping applications.
  • IP67 protection rating guarantees reliable operation in demanding outdoor and agricultural environments.
  • Wide 5–24V DC input range supports direct power from common UAV power systems and flight controllers.
  • Compact and lightweight design (70x65mm) minimizes payload impact on small drones and aerial platforms.
  • Industrial-grade operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) ensures functionality in extreme climates.
  • Simple UART (TTL) digital interface allows for straightforward wiring and software integration.

Applications

  • Precision agricultural UAVs for crop health monitoring and variable-rate spraying based on canopy height.
  • Autonomous drone terrain-following and obstacle avoidance for surveying, mapping, and inspection flights.
  • Altitude hold and landing assistance for helicopters, small airships, and multirotor platforms in GNSS-denied environments.
  • Ground proximity warning and terrain awareness systems for unmanned aerial vehicles operating in complex topography.
  • Research and development platforms for autonomous navigation and environmental sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for the UAV-H31-1 radar sensor?

The sensor communicates via a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) serial interface, outputting TTL-level signals. This standard digital protocol allows for direct, simple wiring to flight controllers like Pixhawk or Ardupilot, or to a microcontroller's serial RX/TX pins for data parsing and integration.

What is the power supply requirement for this radar module?

The UAV-H31-1 operates on a wide DC voltage range of 5 to 24V. This flexibility allows it to be powered directly from a UAV's main battery via a regulator or from the 5V rail of a flight controller, making integration into various aerial platforms straightforward without needing additional voltage converters.

How accurate is the height measurement, and what environments can it operate in?

The sensor provides height measurements with an accuracy of ±2mm within its 0.1 to 27-meter range. Its IP67-rated enclosure makes it dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water, allowing reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions such as agricultural fields, rain, and dusty environments.

Is this sensor compatible with Pixhawk flight controllers?

Yes, the UAV-H31-1 is designed for direct integration with Pixhawk and Ardupilot flight controllers. Its UART output can be connected to a telemetry or serial port on the flight controller. The data protocol is typically compatible with supported rangefinder drivers within the Ardupilot/ PX4 firmware for automatic altitude control.

Can this radar distinguish between multiple targets, like crops and the ground?

Yes, utilizing its FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave) technology, the UAV-H31-1 is capable of multi-target detection. It can differentiate and provide distance measurements to multiple reflective surfaces within its beam, such as distinguishing between the top of a crop canopy and the underlying ground surface, which is critical for precision agriculture applications.
