With the rapid development of technology, drones are widely used in the film and television industry, real estate, tourism, archaeology, surveying and mapping, earthquake and fire rescue, aerial reconnaissance, and so on. The aerial shooting angle of drones is beyond the reach of ordinary cameras, and it plays an important auxiliary role in critical emergency situations, greatly reducing the difficulty of work and receiving unanimous praise from users. Simply put, the working principle of a drone is to operate an unmanned aircraft using radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control devices, or to be operated autonomously and intermittently by an onboard computer. What is the connection between drones and crystal oscillators?
Crystal oscillators themselves cannot directly improve the flight stability of drones, but they can indirectly improve the stability of drones by providing stable clock frequency signals to the central processing unit, ensuring that various electronic components inside the drone can operate normally.
01 crystal oscillator provides clock frequency for drones
Crystal oscillators play a role in controlling the CPU clock frequency in drones. A stable clock frequency signal allows the central processing unit to accurately execute various instructions, thereby controlling the flight status of the drone. If the frequency of the crystal oscillator is unstable or deviates, it may cause the central processing unit to malfunction, thereby affecting the stability of the drone.
02 Other factors affecting drones
The stability of drones is also influenced by other factors, such as their design, manufacturing process, and usage environment. Therefore, to improve the flight stability of drones, multiple factors need to be comprehensively considered.
03 Select crystal oscillators for drones as needed
When selecting a crystal oscillator, it is necessary to choose the appropriate model and specifications based on the specific requirements and usage environment of the drone. For example, it is necessary to choose a crystal oscillator with high precision, high stability, low power consumption, and anti-interference characteristics to ensure that the drone can operate normally in different environments. At the same time, it is necessary to optimize the design and manufacturing process of drones to improve their stability and reliability.
The appearance of drones is the primary analysis, and equipment is equipped with cameras, which require quartz crystal oscillators. Then, it is important to check whether the size is appropriate. In this regard, it is important to ensure the internal space of the drone and not use too large components to avoid the overall weight of the drone, which may cause difficulties in the flight of the equipment. The general specifications and dimensions of crystal oscillators are between 2016mm and 1612 crystal oscillators.
In addition to the camera, which is the positioning function of GPS, the position of the drone is known wherever it goes, which means that oscillators are required for high-end equipment. In addition to drone equipment, other devices are also corresponding choices. Whenever precise positioning is needed, there will definitely be no support for high-end oscillators. In this case, some manufacturers may think that the 1612 quartz crystal oscillator is too small, and the 2016mm crystal oscillator is slightly more expensive. It is also possible to use a 2520 crystal oscillator, and even some 3225 crystal oscillators have appeared in their equipment. This indicates that the selection of crystal oscillators is caused by multiple factors and cannot be determined by a single point.
Crystal oscillators are not very prominent in circuits, but engineers attach great importance to them. The most direct reason is that if the crystal oscillator fails to vibrate or exhibits abnormalities, it can be very frustrating and often helpless. So choosing a legitimate crystal oscillator to produce high-quality crystal oscillators is crucial!
