In recent years, the widespread adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has posed significant challenges in their design. Developing a UAV involves careful consideration of factors such as size, rotor count, propeller and motor dimensions, thrust requirements, and battery type.

Abstract

In recent years, the widespread adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has posed significant challenges in their design. Developing a UAV involves careful consideration of factors such as size, rotor count, propeller and motor dimensions, thrust requirements, and battery type. These specifications are selected based on the intended application, considering aspects like flight duration, payload capacity, maneuverability, and safety. As a result, there is an increasing demand for diverse UAV models tailored to meet specific application needs effectively. This paper presents a novel method for establishing communication between a flight controller and the electronic speed controllers in a UAV, utilizing ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. We present a solution for building a modular drone with UWB technology and an analysis of its communication system. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, providing a practical solution for creating efficient UAVs without geometric constraints. This solution shows potential for applications in the challenging field of smart logistics.
