Dual GPS module
A drone includes a drone center housing, a drone top, and a drone bottom. The drone also includes a plurality of arms, a first antenna, and a second antenna. The plurality of arms each extend from the drone center housing. Each arm of the plurality of arms has a motor/propeller set disposed at an arm distal end located opposite the drone center housing. The first antenna may be mounted to a first arm distal end of a first arm of the plurality of arms opposite a first motor/propeller set mounted at the first arm distal end of the first arm, and the second antenna may be mounted to a second arm distal end of a second arm of the plurality of arms opposite a second motor/propeller set mounted at the second arm distal end.
1 . A drone comprising:
a drone center housing, a drone top and a drone bottom;
a plurality of arms each extending from the drone center housing, with each arm of the plurality of arms having a motor/propeller set disposed at an arm distal end located opposite the drone center housing;
a first antenna and a second antenna wherein the first antenna is mounted to a first arm distal end of a first arm of the plurality of arms opposite a first motor/propeller set mounted at the first arm distal end of the first arm and the second antenna is mounted to a second arm distal end of a second arm of the plurality of arms opposite a second motor/propeller set mounted at the second arm distal end;
with the first antenna and the second antenna located equidistant from the drone center housing and an angle formed by a first imaginary line from the drone center housing to the first antenna and a second imaginary line from the drone center housing to the second antenna is approximately 180 degrees; wherein all the arms of the plurality of arms, except that the first arm and the second arm, are oriented so that the motor/propeller set are on top of each arm relative to the drone bottom.
2 . A drone comprising:
a drone center housing, a drone top and a drone bottom;
a plurality of arms each extending from the drone center housing, with each arm of the plurality of arms having a motor/propeller set disposed at an arm distal end located opposite the drone center housing;
a first antenna and a second antenna;
a circuit board having a circuit board top side opposite a circuit board bottom side, a circuit board first end, and a circuit board second end opposite the circuit board first end;
a first Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, a second GNSS receiver, a data communication connection between the first GNSS receiver and the second GNSS receiver, a first antenna connector, second antenna connector,
wherein the first antenna connector is proximate the circuit board first end, and the second antenna connector is proximate the circuit board second end;
wherein the first antenna is connected to the first antenna connector and the second antenna is connected to the second antenna connector;
wherein the first antenna is mounted to a first arm distal end of a first arm of the plurality of arms opposite a first motor/propeller set mounted at the first arm distal end of the first arm and the second antenna is mounted to a second arm distal end of a second arm of the plurality of arms opposite a second motor/propeller set mounted at the second arm distal end with the first antenna and the second antenna located equidistant from the drone center housing and an angle formed by a first imaginary line from the drone center housing to the first antenna and a second imaginary line from the drone center housing to the second antenna is approximately 180 degrees wherein the first motor/propeller set and the second motor/propeller set are oriented towards the drone bottom so that the first arm is above the first motor/propeller set relative to the drone bottom and the second arm is above the second motor/propeller set relative to the drone bottom;
and wherein all the arms of the plurality of arms, except that the first arm and the second arm, are oriented so that the motor/propeller set are on top of each arm relative to the drone bottom.
3 . The drone of claim 2 , further comprising a shield enclosure that electrically shields the circuit board.
