Current ham radio news

During the week 15 – 19 February, the preparatory work for WRC-23 agenda item 9.1b continued in ITU‑R Working Party 4C (WP4C). The WRC agenda item has initiated technical studies on coexistence between the radio navigation satellite service (RNSS) and the amateur services in the 23cm band. As usual, the IARU participated in the meeting and delivered key information on amateur activities in this important microwave band. This information is vital to ensure the amateur services are realistically represented in the studies as they move forward.

It remains vital that national amateur communities present their views on the importance of this band to their national regulators in a consolidated and consistent manner.

To assist with this the IARU-R1 is developing supporting material that member societies can refer to when addressing the topic with their national regulator.

The work on this topic will continue throughout the year and beyond both in ITU‑R and in the regional telecommunications organisations and the IARU is committed to ensure every organisation understands the amateur position on this important microwave band.

Current ham radio news

ARRL CEO David Minster, NA2AA, will keynote the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo March 13 – 14 weekend. Minster’s talk — part of an 80+ speaker lineup — will begin at 2000 UTC (3 PM EST) on March 13. His appearance will highlight ARRL’s featured role at the Expo, which also will include “Ask The ARRL Lab.” ARRL is a QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo Partner.

Minster, who assumed the ARRL Headquarters leadership position last September, has launched major projects and assembled teams to foster innovation and individual skill development in radio technology and communications. In his keynote, Minster will share his enthusiasm for advancing amateur radio and highlight current ARRL initiatives to engage and inspire the current generation of hams. His presentation topics will include:

ARRL’s digital transformation, which promises to bring new value to ARRL members. An all-in digital approach will improve the way members access and engage with content, programs, and systems.

The ARRL Learning Center, a hub for members to discover the many facets of amateur radio and develop practical knowledge and skills.

Increasing video content, opening opportunities for amateur radio content creators and member-volunteers to learn, stay informed, and keep connected.

Improving training and tools to engage radio clubs, emergency communication volunteers, and students.

The ARRL Expo booth will feature “Ask the ARRL Lab,” where Lab staffers will answer questions live. Attendees can come into the booth lounge (featuring the Expo’s latest virtual meet-up and video technology), sit down at a virtual table, and ask ARRL Lab technical wizards for tips about projects or suggestions to address various station installations and problems. Attendees can also learn about Product Review equipment testing by the Lab, see a presentation on how the Lab can help hams with RFI problems, and tour W1AW — the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station — virtually. ARRL booth staff will also point attendees to helpful resources from across membership benefits, services, and programs.

Representing the ARRL Lab will be Lab Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI; Test Engineer Bob Allison, WB1GCM; Senior Laboratory Engineer Zack Lau, W1VT; RFI Engineer Paul Cianciolo, W1VLF, and W1AW Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q. Between all of them, they have over 100 years of experience at ARRL Headquarters,

QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo Chairman Eric Guth, 4Z1UG, also announced four live group kit-building workshops. Workshop instructors will guide participants through building a variety of kits, which will be available for purchase and delivered prior to the Expo so attendees can build them at home. Attendees unable to participate during the live sessions can order and build kits by watching the workshop videos during the on-demand period that follows the Expo through April 12.

Workshop kits prices range from $15 to $30. Early-bird discount tickets and links to purchase kits can be found at the QSO Today Expo website. These workshops will include:

Building the NS-40 QRP Transmitter, a 14-component, 5 W transmitter for 7.030 MHz (with instructors David Cripe, NM0S, and Virginia Smith, NV5F).

The Learn-to-Solder Workshop will introduce the basic tools and techniques of building electronic kits. Participants will build a 20-meter transmitter kit (with instructors Rex Harper, W1REX, and Stephen Houser, N1SH).

Building the Cric-Key, a simple CW keyer with paddle, suitable for home and field use (with instructor Joe Eisenberg, K0NEB).

The Mini-Sudden Receiver, a pocket-and-mint-tin friendly direct-conversion 20-meter receiver (with instructors Rex Harper, W1REX, and Stephen Houser, N1SH).

Touch Screen Technology Application and Classification

With the development of computer technology, the input method of the computer has gone from the original paper tape input to the keyboard input, to the mouse input, and then to the touch input, which has gone through four stages. This process is a process from professional to popularization. Touch screen technology allows more people to use the computer.

A touch screen is an interactive input device. The user only needs to touch a certain position on the screen with a finger or a light pen to control the operation of the computer. Therefore, the touch screen technology has the characteristics of simple operation and flexible use.

Touch screen is also called touch panel. When the graphic buttons on the screen are touched, the haptic feedback system on the screen can drive various linking devices according to a pre-programmed program, which can be used to replace the mechanical button panel and create a dynamic audio-visual effect by the LCD. Simply put, it is an inductive display device that can be connected to input signals such as contacts.

The application scenarios and terminals of touch screens are very extensive, and they can be divided into 7 categories from the perspective of scene types:

Type 1: Portable Equipment

Including Mobile phone, Pocket PC, E-book, Web Pad, Translator, Tablet PC, etc.

Type 2: Public Information Equipment

Including ATM, Public Inquiry Machine (Kiosk), Ticket Vending Machine, Digital Photo Printing System, etc.

Type 3: Communication Equipment

Including Video Phone, SmartPhone, Internet TV, Set-top box, GPS, etc.

Type 4: Office Automation Equipment

Including Copier, Punch Card Machine, Word Processor, Electronic Touch Whiteboard, etc.

Type 5: Information Collection Equipment

Including POI, POS Information Inquiry Machine, etc.

Type 6: Information Appliances

Including Refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Washing Machine, LCD TV, etc.

Type 7: Entertainment Devices

Including Gaming Machine, Gambling Machine, Slot machine, Roulette machine, etc.

According to the type of sensor, touch screens are roughly divided into five types: infrared, resistive, surface acoustic wave(SAW), capacitive touch screens, and electromagnetic touch screens.

Infrared technology touch screens are inexpensive, but the outer frame is fragile, which is prone to light interference and distortion in curved surfaces. The design of capacitive technology touch screens is reasonable, but it is difficult to solve the problem of image distortion. The positioning of resistive technology touch screens is accurate, but its The price is quite high, and it is afraid of scratching; the surface acoustic wave touch screen solves the various defects of the previous touch screen, and it is not easy to be damaged. It is suitable for various occasions. The disadvantage is that if there are water droplets and dust on the screen surface, the touch screen will become dull It doesn't even work; electromagnetic technology touch requires a professional stylus, which is inconvenient to use.

1.Infrared touch screen

The principle of the infrared touch screen is very simple, just add the frame frame of the light spot distance on the display, without adding a coating or connecting the controller to the surface of the screen. Infrared emitting tubes and receiving tubes are arranged on the four sides of the frame from the light spot to form an infrared network on the screen surface. When the user touches a certain point on the screen with his finger, the two infrared rays passing through the position are blocked, and the computer can immediately calculate the position of the touched point. Because the infrared touch screen is not affected by current, voltage and static electricity, it is suitable for some harsh environmental conditions. Its main advantages are low cost, easy installation, no need for cards or any other controllers, and it can be used on computers of all grades. However, since the frame is only added to the ordinary screen, the infrared emitting tube and the receiving tube around the frame are easily damaged during use.

2.Resistive touch screen

The surface touched by the finger is a hard coating to protect the underlying PET layer. The PET layer is a thin elastic PET film that bends downward when the surface is touched, and allows the two underlying ITO coatings to contact each other and connect the circuit at that point. Between the two ITO layers is a separation fulcrum about one thousandth of an inch thick that separates the two layers. At the bottom is a transparent hard bottom layer to support the above structure, usually glass or plastic.

3.Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW) touch screen

A surface acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the surface of a medium. The touch screen is composed of a touch screen, a sound wave generator, a reflector and a sound wave receiver. The sound wave generator can send a high frequency sound wave across the surface of the screen. When a finger touches the screen, the sound wave on the contact point is blocked Determine the coordinate position. The surface acoustic wave touch screen is not affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. It has extremely high resolution, excellent scratch resistance, and long life (50 million times without failure); high light transmittance (92%), which can maintain clear and translucent Image quality; no drift, only need to be corrected once during installation; there is a third axis (ie pressure axis) response, which is most suitable for use in public places.

4.Electromagnetic touch screen

The basic principle of the electromagnetic induction touch screen is to judge by the magnetic field generated by the sensor under the panel during the operation of the electromagnetic pen. The electromagnetic pen is the signal transmitter, and the antenna board is the signal receiver. When a change occurs, the position point is defined by the operation.

5.Capacitive touch screen

Capacitive touch screens are divided into surface capacitive touch screens and projected capacitive touch screens.

(1) Surface Capacitive Technology:

The surface capacitive touch screen uses only a single layer of ITO, and long and narrow electrodes are plated on all four sides of the touch screen to form a low-voltage AC electric field within the conductor. When a finger touches the screen surface, a coupling capacitance is formed between the finger and the conductor layer, and a certain amount of charge is transferred to the human body. In order to recover these charge losses, the charge is replenished from the four corners of the screen, and the amount of charge replenished in all directions is proportional to the distance of the touch point, from which we can calculate the position of the touch point.

(2) Projected Capacitive Technology：

Compared with surface capacitive touch screens, projected capacitive touch screens can penetrate a thicker cover layer and do not require correction. Inductive capacitive etching of different ITO modules on two layers of ITO coating requires consideration of factors such as the total impedance of the module, the impedance of the connecting line between the modules, and the parasitic capacitance generated at the intersection of the two layers of ITO modules.

< 8) Apollo hardware development platform

Original: Apollo developer community? A week ago

last week, Apollo introduced the basic situation of Baidu Apollo open platform. In this issue, a Bojun will introduce the Apollo hardware development platform.

If you don't say much, you are welcome to enter the fifth advanced course.

The accident happened on the night of March 18, 2018, when a Uber car in driverless test collided with a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. The pedestrian was sent to hospital and later declared invalid.

According to the preliminary investigation results, Uber vehicle was in the state of automatic driving when it hit the pedestrian, which is the first case in history that the automatic driving vehicle injured the pedestrian on the open road. This incident sounded the alarm about safety for driverless.

Issued by the U.S. highway Commission on June 22, 2018Accident report:

in the first 6 seconds of the accident, the sensors of the system have found pedestrians; in the first 1 second of the accident, the emergency brake AEB of the original car has been started, but the car has not implemented the brake, because when Uber refits Volvo CX90, the brake system of the original car is cut off, and the subsequent refitted computer will send control instructions to brake.

the system does not have a fully closed-loop state (main cause);

the driver lowers his head to play with his mobile phone, and the system does not give a warning after detecting a pedestrian;

automatic driving and infrastructure are related, and the lack of illumination on the road in the four seconds before the accident results in no pedestrian to be seen from the photos.

There have been other traffic problems before

Uber, such as vehicle scratch, direct rollover, etc.

The reason is that the vehicle sensor (velodyne 64 line) installed later by Uber is heavier, and the SUV center point is higher. After the sensor is installed, the center of gravity moves up, and it is easy to roll when turning a sharp corner.

From the perspective of the R & D process of automatic driving, it can be roughly divided into the following four steps:

software in the loop software in the loop is based on Simulation and simulation software simulation, similar to racing games. That is to simulate the real road environment such as light, weather and other natural environment in the software system. After the development of the automatic driving code, the developer can run it in the simulation system to test whether the goal can be achieved.

Hardware in the loop hardware in the loop is based on the necessaryHardware platform. After the first step of software simulation, all the simulation results, sensors and computing units are assembled and tested in the hardware environment.

Vehicle in loop vehicle in loop is based on vehicle execution. The third step is to test the functions developed by developers in a closed environment. There will be no interference of traffic flow in the closed environment.

Driver in the loop driver in the loop is based on the actual road. After the third step is successful, the driver in the loop is mainly to study the interaction between people, vehicle, road and traffic. It not only tests the program code of automatic driving, but also obtains the judgment of professional drivers.

The above four steps are the whole process of automatic driving R & D. according to the above process R & D can ensure sufficient safety of automatic driving.

Automatic driving is divided into three systems: perception, decision-making and control. Each system has corresponding hardware system. ?

perception system is divided into three parts: vehicle movement, environment perception and driver monitoring.

Vehicle motion is mainly divided into inertial navigation, speed sensor, angle sensor and global positioning system.

Environmental perception mainly includes lidar, ultrasonic, camera, millimeter wave radar and v2x.

Driver monitoring is mainly divided into camera and bioelectric sensor.

The decision system is divided into three parts: calculation unit, T-box and black box.

In the computing unit is the algorithm of autopilot perception decision control. Current autoDriving with X86 structure of the server or industrial computer.

T-box, or telematics box, is the communication gateway of the Internet of vehicles. It is connected to the Internet and connected to the CAN bus. For example, the door opening and closing commands sent by the app on the mobile phone are controlled by sending the operation commands to the CAN bus through the T-box gateway.

The black box is used to record all information and status in the process of unmanned driving.

The control system is divided into vehicle control and warning system.

Vehicle control mainly includes braking, steering, engine and gearbox. Warning system is mainly divided into sound, image and vibration?.

The above is the framework of the whole autopilot hardware system.

introduces the sensor category of automatic driving vehicle.

The camera is mainly used for lane line, traffic sign, traffic light, vehicle and pedestrian detection. It has the advantages of comprehensive detection information and low price, but its performance is greatly affected by weather.

The camera is mainly composed of lens, lens module, filter, CMOS / CCD, ISP and data transmission. The cameras are divided into monocular and binocular.

The basic working principle of the camera: light is focused on the sensor of the CMOS behind through the lens and filter in front of the camera.

the sensor will expose the light signal and convert it into an electrical signal, then convert it into a standard RGB or YUV data grid through the ISP image processor, and finally transmit it to the back-end computerLine processing.

The core principle of lidar is TOF (time of flight), that is, after a beam of light hits an obstacle, the light will generate an echo, and receive and calculate the light turn back distance on APD.

According to its scanning principle, lidar can be divided into coaxial rotation, prism rotation, MEMS, OPA phased array and flash. ? lidar is not only used for perception, but also for mapping and positioning.

Millimeter wave radar is mainly used for the detection of traffic vehicles. Millimeter wave radar is mainly composed of RF antenna, chip and algorithm. The basic principle is to transmit a beam of electromagnetic wave, and then observe the intake difference of electromagnetic wave echo to calculate the distance and speed.

It has the advantages of fast and accurate detection speed, no interference from weather conditions, and the disadvantage is that it can not identify and detect lane lines.

Integrated navigation is to receive all visible GPS satellite signals through GNSS board and calculate them, so as to get the spatial position of the object in the geodetic coordinate system.

When vehicles pass through tunnels, buildings and shaded roads, GPS signal can not provide a good settlement and real-time navigation, so it is necessary to integrate the information of inertial navigation.

Inertial navigation is a completely closed system, which can directly give the position, speed and attitude of the car body without any external influence.

automatic driving vehicle sensor installation location is generally: the

lidar is rotated at 360 degrees.As it is installed on the roof;

millimeter wave radar has strong aluminium sliding window lock manufacturer directivity, so it is generally installed on the front and rear bumpers;

considering the interference of the vehicle body's pitch and attitude on the Road, the integrated navigation system is generally installed on the central axis of the two rear wheels;

cameras are installed on 360 ° of the vehicle body.

The figure above summarizes the sensors used for autonomous driving.

Automatic Sliding window lock manufacturer cruise, emergency braking and pedestrian detection are all L1 and L2 functions.

The European standard is for vehicles with mandatory AEB function in 2017; the American standard is for all vehicles to have auxiliary driving, lane departure and AEB function by 2020;

the Chinese standard is to list the automatic driving L1 function AEB as mandatory standard by 2018, which are mainly used for commercial vehicles, trucks and buses.

The following is a brief introduction of the differences between the current mass production plans of L1 and L2 and the plans above L3 + developed by Baidu and many AI companies.

? grade L1 and grade L2 are most afraid of sensor error detection, for example, sensor error detection while driving, and then sudden braking will make driving feel bad. L1 and L2 algorithm can avoid certain aluminium alloy sliding door lock false detection rate.

Above L3, we pay attention to the missing detection of sensors. The main body of driving is a system. We must not allow the missing detection of the sensor section of the system.

This is the current traditional car companies and some AI companies in the automatic driving sensor for two major differencesDifferent.

At present, L4 adapts to some automatic driving on urban roads and expressways. The speed limit of expressways in China is 120km / h. according to the road friction coefficient, the braking distance at different speeds can be calculated. Add the reaction time of the whole system, and calculate the following table according to the mathematical formula.

At present, the reaction time of the whole system of automatic driving will be within 500ms. It takes 0.3-0.5s for the vehicle to brake hydraulically, and 0.8s for the truck to brake pneumatically.

At present, most of the cars on sale are lower than this technical index, which shows that the performance of the cars on sale is very good. At present, it is enough to measure 150 meters for the requirements of sensors.

This is a trigonometric function arctangent function, but this formula will be divided by one more 2 to avoid omission.

When there is an object between the angles of two beam lines of lidar, which is just at the detection edge, it will generate a certain amount of missed detection. Dividing by 2 is to ensure that there will be no missed detection at each angle. .

At the resolution of 0.1 °, we can actually detect a person, a car or a rider 400 meters away.

, however, can detect that it does not mean that the automatic driving system can be identified. Only one line of imaging or low resolution imaging can automatically identify the driver.

At present, on the baidu Apollo platform, we can use four or five lines of lidar on the same vehicle to classify the obstacles well.

Now, like velodyne's 64 line lidar, his object perception distance at 0.4 ° resolution is 50 meters.

The future trend of autopilot sensors: autopilot sensors can not do without multi-sensor fusion. Lidar and camera belong to optical sensors, and their core parts and processing circuits are very similar,

in the future, it is possible to integrate lidar and camera front-end, directly output RGB and XYZ fusion color plus point cloud information, and then transmit it to the back-end calculation for processing.

The iradar system developed by aeye, an American start-up company, can not only truly reflect the color information of two-dimensional world, but also overlay the information of point cloud. Each pixel has not only color information but also spatial coordinate information.

above is the calculation unit structure of the automatic driving vehicle. In the calculation unit of automatic driving vehicle,

needs to consider the overall vehicle gauge, electromagnetic interference and vibration design as well as the requirements of ISO-26262 standard.

All CPU, GPU, FPGA, MCU and bus should be designed redundantly to prevent single point failure.

At present, the computing unit is a centralized architecture, that is, all the work is put into an industrial computer.

The disadvantages of this architecture are large size, high power consumption and discomfortIt is convenient for fast code iteration, and the design of industrial computer card slot is convenient for hardware update and expansion?.

Because of the disadvantage of centralization, the embedded scheme will be considered in the future. First, the original data of each sensor is fused into a sensor box, in which data fusion is completed, and then the fused data is sent to the back-end computing platform for processing.

Function of sensor box: how to judge whether the original data given by the current sensor is the same target after the fusion is completed? A time stamp synchronization is required to ensure that each sensor detects the same coordinate system under the time stamp. The synchronization of time stamps is completed in the sensor box. ?

this scheme breaks down the original centralized computing function, which can reduce the power consumption of the whole system, but it is not enough for more mass production.

The self driving algorithm we are developing now can be made into a special chip when the sensing algorithm solidifies.

ASIC chip is a special customized chip based on specific requirements. Its advantages are smaller volume, lower power consumption, stable performance and mass production compared with general GPU and FPGA.

Now the semiconductor industry is very mature. sinceDynamic driving algorithm companies only need to do a good job in the front-end design of the chip, such as solidifying the algorithm, then choosing the appropriate IP core, and finally carrying out EDA (electronic automation design), and then handing the circuit diagram of the chip design to the back-end, chip manufacturing enterprises such as TSMC carry out the production of chips.

The whole chip design process is divided into three parts: chip design, chip manufacturing and chip packaging. Now the whole semiconductor industry is developing from deep ultraviolet (Dov) to extreme ultraviolet (EUV).

Semiconductor is stepping into the 7 nanometer era, and the new technology has brought great improvement to the performance. Compared with 16 nm process, 7 nm process can improve 40% performance and save 60% energy consumption.

Control by wire refers to that the control of the car is completed by some simple commands, not by physical operation.

The wire control part is equivalent to the human hand and foot, and the upper command is executed in the online control system. It is mainly divided into three parts: deceleration control, steering control and acceleration control.

these control systems of traditional cars are assisted by hydraulic system and vacuum booster pump. The automatic control of automobile must be controlled by electronically controlled components, such as electronic hydraulic braking system (EHB).

Solution. Its MK C1 integrates hydraulic and braking modules, uses compact and light weight design to save braking unit, and the braking signal sent by electrical signal also makes the braking distance shorter.

ESC (body electronic stability system) used by mk100 can back up with MK C1. When MK C1 system fails, mk100 will take over.

From the perspective of schematic diagram, all power supply, execution, circuit and pipeline diagrams of continental braking are double backup, which greatly improves the safety, but the system is only applicable to passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses are braked by air brake system.

At present, many autonomous vehicles use EPS (electronic power steering system). The EPS directly uses the steering column in combination with the lower rack, without electrical control.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The automatic driving vehicle's wire control system

, such as Infiniti Q50's steering system, is driven by a clutch to turn the steering column off. When the vehicle is started, the clutch is released. All the automatic driving commands transmit control commands through the ECU (electronic control element) to the two steering motors on the lower part for steering control.

The accelerator by wire is used to control the acceleration of the automatic driving vehicle. There is a position sensor on the deceleration brake pedal that can detect the brake depth. The sensor transmitsWhen EMS (engine brake system) is reached, the more air intake the valve, the faster acceleration.

?????????????????????????????????? - automatic driving vehicle's line control system

automatic driving vehicle at present mostly is the new energy source vehicle, the new energy vehicle completes the acceleration control by the drive motor torque control, from the entire line control, divides into three stages:

1.0 ? refit the steering wheel pedal of the original vehicle. After cutting off some steering columns, install a steering motor to conduct steering by controlling the motor. The disadvantage is that the system of the original vehicle has not been tested and verified, and there is a potential safety hazard.

2.0 based on the auxiliary driving system of the original vehicle, the CAN bus protocol is cracked, and the steering and braking of the vehicle are controlled by the command of the original vehicle bus.

3.0 a set of system developed from the vehicle chassis, the steering by wire control is completely customized according to the requirements of automatic driving, and the difference with 2.0 is that the redundancy and backup requirements are considered.

On July 4, 2018, the Apollo hardware development platform was officially released, with 15 new hardware manufacturers selecting models and also Apollo sensor units.

After adding the underlying abstraction layer (upgrading the original hardware reference design to a hardware development platform), the content of the hardware development platform is more abundant.

Some developers put forward the hardware reference design provided by BaiduAt present, it can't be bought or the supply cycle is very long.

Based on these demands, we have enriched the selection of hardware, and will release the sensors, industrial computers and control units that have passed our test and verification, so as to facilitate the selection of developers.

In the current reference design provided by Baidu, we divide it into Apollo platform certification and Apollo hardware development platform certification.

Apollo platform certification means that the sensors currently in use by Baidu are published after certification. For example, velodyne 64 line lidar is an Apollo platform certified product. We will provide data sets based on the sensors in use.

The authentication of Apollo hardware development platform is carried out at the level of Apollo code, such as the additional work of data acquisition and annotation of perception module and model training, which also needs to be completed by the developers themselves.

In the future, Apollo will continue to enrich the ecosystem, continue to provide chip and sensor support and selection.

The sensor box integrates all the sensor information into the sensor unit, completes the alignment of the whole time stamp, and transmits the pre-processing data to the back-end industrial computer computing unit for processing.

this is developed based on Baidu's use of sensors, not necessarily applicable to all developers. In the future, Apollo will introduce aXu expansion unit, and the unit with PCI card slot will be more flexible.

In the abstraction layer of Apollo, there areHardware interface, such as kernel driver, USP library, etc.

USP library is mainly used in CAN bus protocol. Because the CAN bus protocol of each vehicle factory / model / batch is different, the control instruction information is written in USP library for operation.

In the Apollo development platform, there is also Hal hardware abstraction layer, which is the middle development layer to prevent the whole system hardware kernel from crashing due to single hardware short circuit. Different hardware manufacturers can choose to open all the source code or publish the compiled code on the Apollo platform.

After Apollo completes the code entry, it will be published on GitHub. Developers do not need to develop different drivers for different hardware options.

Finally, it is the layout of the auto driving industry chain released by VSI.

The auto driving industry is a large-scale aggregation industry of 100000 scale industries, such as new energy, it, traffic communication, semiconductor artificial intelligence, mobile Internet, etc.

autopilot is the aggregate of material flow, energy flow and information flow. It is necessary to deeply integrate and cooperate with the hardware and software industry to ensure the success of the automatic driving industry.

A Bojun said:

in the learning process, developers can not only ask questions about the course content in the Applo developer community applet, but also exchange learning experience in the developer wechat group, and learn autonomous driving skills togetherOperation. The

developer community will also push the curriculum related technical dry cargo regularly on the official account, and will accompany you all the way to make progress. I wish the Apollo developers to successfully complete the advanced course of auto driving, and go further and further on the road of auto driving!

You are also welcome to post your learning notes in the Q & a section of the app. You can also join the developer communication community to exchange and interact with you, and have a good gift!

After watching / reading the course, upload the screenshot of your course notes in the developer community and the "community Q & a" section of the app. You can contact the community assistant to get a souvenir of Baidu's surroundings by hand written notes / computer documents. Let's hurry up and have a lift ~ Bixin ~

3 element 50MHz LFA-Q Super-Gainer Quad Style Yagi

Product Dimensions and Weight

Product Length: 25.0000M

Product Widtg: 1.0280M

A 3 element LFA-Q (Super-rigid Quad-style) Super-Light Quad Style Yagi for 50-50.5MHz

The LFA-Q Packs a bigger punch than a traditional Yagi with MUCH MORE GAIN per metre of boom

If it is GAIN you want from a small boom, this is the antenna for you! Wow, Super compact boom!!

Checkout the TX Factor online review! http://m0scu.uk/tx-factor-episode-7/

Another impressive design from G0KSC, ‘The Quad has been InnovAted!’ A Quad-style antenna with full wave length loop elements which provide a number of benefits. First, if the elements are of reasonable thickness (as ours are, they are not wire!) then good bandwidth coverage can be achieved. Next, up to around 7 elements (1.5wl) much better gain per metre of boom can be achieved than would otherwise be possible from a traditional Yagi covering the same bandwidth. Finally, with the dual-boom structure and 1/2” diameter elements, the LFA-Q is extremely rigid and can stand up to some serious weather conditions!

IDEAL PORTABLE OR SOTA USE!

Despite it’s rigidity, the LFA-Q is extremely light weight and this means even in strong winds, snow and ice the LFA-Q will hold its own.

Our antennas are constructed with the best quality materials in order the best mechanical construction can be achieved, not the cheapest and most profitable! Even a digital caliper is used (with an accuracy of .01mm) to measure the elements during production to ensure they are within 0.2mm of what they should be, this ensures they work as well as our software model predicts.

Customer comment on the LFA-Q:

”Very nice…assembled and installed over the last two days – even though it arrived over night!

Performs extremely well – It replaced a MET 144 8T (remember them) that was about 20 years old – the gamma match had become unstable – suspect the trombone dielectric has aged/decayed.

This antenna has great FB like the MET but I think gain is very comparable and bandwidth far, far superior.

Thanks for the great service

Martin VE7MM/G4EZG”

Specification

This antenna is made with a 1/2 inch (12.7mm) and 3/8 inch (9.525mm) diameter tube for the LFA-Q and the boom sections are 3/4” 19mm diameter. This antenna is not made cheaply, it is made to perform and to do so for many years with Marine Grade Stainless Steel fixings.

No figures are made up here as they are in some Ham Radio adverts, all performance figures are verified in the very latest software simulation packages with some antennas being professionally confirmed on an antenna range.

Customer comment on the LFA-Q:

”Very nice…assembled and installed over the last two days – even though it arrived over night!

Performs extremely well – It replaced a MET 144 8T (remember them) that was about 20 years old – the gamma match had become unstable – suspect the trombone dielectric has aged/decayed.

This antenna has great FB like the MET but I think gain is very comparable and bandwidth far, far superior.

Thanks for the great service

Martin VE7MM/G4EZG”
