Fig. 2. Application of the presented m<strong>in</strong>iature communication device allows for communication<br />

without any PC class devices onboard which allows significant m<strong>in</strong>iaturization of the<br />

vehicles and improves the reliability of the solution at the same time<br />

It was assumed that the communication device has to encrypt all of the exchanged<br />

data. Each of the packets should be numbered <strong>in</strong> order to elim<strong>in</strong>ate the<br />

situation that due to attacker’s actions some of the packets changed their order or<br />

were multiplied.<br />

4 Physical Layer<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g design phase of the development of the presented <strong>in</strong> the article device a set<br />

of requirements were made. One of the ma<strong>in</strong> requirements about physical layer<br />

were m<strong>in</strong>iature size and weight and transmission channel for exchange telemetry<br />

and send<strong>in</strong>g orders. The channel has to be characterized by a wide range but not<br />

necessary high throughput.<br />

In order to satisfy the requirements there was designed a m<strong>in</strong>iature radio frequency<br />

emitter presented <strong>in</strong> the fig. 3. It consists of transceiver designed for<br />

frequencies up to 1 GHz supported by a . The f<strong>in</strong>al frequency of the device was set<br />

to 869.525 MHz, right <strong>in</strong> the middle of the unlicensed ISM 869 MHz. The modulation<br />

is GFSK with frequency deviation plus/m<strong>in</strong>us 30 kHz. The throughput of<br />

the channel was def<strong>in</strong>ed as 64kBaud It is a compromise between long range with<br />

the maximum 500mW power and high throughput. An additional limitation on<br />

throughput was the requirement of two way communication. The device is work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>in</strong> the Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) mode therefore it is possible to send data<br />

even when the channel is occupied <strong>in</strong> more than 10%.<br />

GFSK modulation is based on prob<strong>in</strong>g the receiver frequency. However the<br />

change is not a step change but rather mild. Therefore the signal spectrum is narrower.<br />

Transmission of the ‘0’ symbol is acquired by send<strong>in</strong>g a signal at the<br />

frequency Fc-Fdev (middle frequency m<strong>in</strong>us deviation), while the ‘1’ signal is the<br />

opposite Fc+Fdev. Transmitted data is divided <strong>in</strong>to packets. Each packets length is<br />

a multiple of one byte.
