pulse width modulator for fly drones, UAVs and, eventually, other aircrafts.
In our R&D, we need a component that can convert DC current into short electric pulses.
Here are the major specifications we require for the pulse width modulator.
- Voltage compliance: DC 0-240 V
- Current compliance: DC 0-30 A
- Pulse shape: square / rectangular
- Pulse width range: 10 ps – 500 µs
- Frequency range: 1 – 100 Hz
The following is the configuration that we have inside our proof-of-concept drones.
The duty cycle depends on the frequency and pulse width of the signal.
For example;
10 ps @ 1 Hz – 0.000000000001 % duty cycle
10 ps @ 100 Hz – 0.00000001 % duty cycle
500 µs @ 1 Hz — 0.05 % duty cycle
500 µs @ 100 Hz — 5.00 % duty cycle
We want a device that can give us ultra-short electric pulses at relatively low frequencies.
