This chapter discusses the design of communication system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), beginning with a discussion on the various aspects of the communication system. The data link is the means of connecting one location to another one (e.g., UAV to ground control station (GCS)) for the purpose of transmitting and receiving digital information. The main components of a communication system are the transmitter and the receiver. The chapter reviews the fundamentals of the antenna, and outlines four types of antennae applicable to UAV systems: monopole; dipole (most common, Yagi‐Uda antenna); array; and aperture. An important step in the design of the communication system (either transmitter or receiver) is the selection of radio frequency. The primary purpose of encryption is to protect the confidentiality of digital data or signal transmitted via a UAV communication system. The chapter also presents the bi‐directional wireless communications using Arduino boards.
