Operating principle and main functions

Radio altimeter Nanoradar NRA 24 works on the principle of radar. It emits a targeted radio signal at a specific frequency. This signal is reflected from the ground, water, building roofs, or other surface below the drone. The reflected signal returns to the sensor receiver. The electronics of the device measure with the highest precision the time between sending a pulse and receiving its reflection.

Knowing the speed of propagation of radio waves, the on-board processor calculates the exact distance to the object. This data is transmitted in real time to the flight controller or autopilot. The autopilot uses them to maintain a given altitude. This occurs regardless of the barometric sensor or GPS satellite readings. This technology ensures stability even in strong gusts of wind.

Technical characteristics and scope of application

The technical parameters of the altimeter determine its capabilities. The 200 m marking indicates the maximum measuring range. The range is from 0.5 to 200 meters. The device has high measurement accuracy, usually within a few centimeters. It operates at a safe frequency of 24 GHz. To connect to the autopilot, standard interfaces such as UART or CAN are used.

This device is indispensable in a number of professional tasks. It provides ultra-precise automatic hovering for aerial photography and surveillance. The system is critical for fully autonomous landing on a moving platform or at a predetermined point. The altimeter is used for mapping and creating 3D terrain models. It allows the drone to fly at a fixed altitude over changing terrain, such as a field or forest.

Installation and configuration require attention. The sensor must be securely attached to the drone frame. Its radiating surface should be directed strictly downwards. In autopilot firmware, such as PX4 or ArduPilot, you need to activate and configure the appropriate driver. This will ensure correct operation of the entire navigation system.
