%0 Journal Article %T Study on the Influence of Electromagnetic Pulse on UAV Communication Link %A Enrong Wang %A Shuqing Ding %A Wei Yan %A Xinqi Tu %A Yang Zhao %A Yinsen Jia %J American Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering %D 2019 %R 10.12691/ajeee-7-2-4 %X UAVs have many functions in detection, fire protection, communication, etc. in modern life, but the complex electromagnetic environment has a very bad impact on the UAV communication link. In this paper, the BPSK modulation and demodulation method of the UAV downlink communication link was analysed. Some typical electromagnetic pulse models were established, including sinusoidal pulse, square wave pulse, triangular wave pulse, Gaussian noise, electric fast transient pulse and surge pulse. The amplitude of different electromagnetic pulses was analysed when UAV communication error rate achieve 5%. Furthermore, the influence on the transmission image quality via UAV downlink was analysed with different electromagnetic pulses, which will provide a theoretical basis for the anti-interference optimization design of UAV communication links in the future %U http://www.sciepub.com/AJEEE/abstract/10751
