Extraordinary Range in RF
Professional radio control and telemetry with an extraordinary range in the radio system in the free ISM band. FHSS configurable frequency hopping with excellent synchronization and fast recovery.
Up to 200Km maximum without repeaters for XLRS D1, D3 and D4 systems and 100Km max for D2, which covers almost any need.
To increase more the range or ensure good coverage in different conditions you can use smart antennas as repeaters in real time or as ISM cells (more information shortly). You can also link several transmitters D1, D2 or D3 that are in different places to a single drone or UAV to get more range and RF coverage.
5G RF. The radio frequency system is a fundamental part of the XLRS system. (Not to be confused with 5G of mobile telephony).
It’s possible that you don’t need a lot of work range but if a lot of security in the radio link and in part this is given by the range of the system. There are different options of the same system with a scaling of ranges and prices to suit your budget.
The majority of options are by software, in this way the system is the same, you only need to buy a code, activate it and immediately have more range and features.
Information:
– Multiband ISM. 866Mhz to 950Mhz.
– FHSS.

Scalable Range Up to 200Km VLOS, EVLOS
200km conditions: @50kb, antenna on TX Patch direccional 9dBi and omnidirectional 5dBi on flight LOS.
Remote Control RC, XLRS Telemetry and Mavlink symmetrical.
Remember: Approximately every +9dBm in practice the range is doubled.
Scalable range:
25Km Power: +20dBm (100mW). Sensitivity: -99dBm. Link 119dBm
50Km Power: +20dBm (100mW). Sensitivity: -108dBm. Link 128dBm
100Km Power: +27dBm (500mW). Sensitivity: -110dBm. Link 137dBm
200Km Power: +30dBm (1000mW). Sensitivity: -116dBm. Link 146dBm
Simple calculation of the effective RF link: Resulting link + Antenna gain TX + RX antenna gain. (The attenuation of rain, clouds, etc. is not calculated). If you use extender cables for RF you must subtract the losses in dBm of extensors.
Example for 50Km: Link 128dBm + Patch antenna TX 9 + Omni antenna RX 5 = 128 + 9 + 5 = 142dBm.
Available repeaters (Smart Antennas) for real time ranges of areas of 600Km or more (Consult in dmd@dmd.es).
It is a very important parameter, especially if the temperature of the transmitter and the receiver are very different.
Controlled by TXCO. Better than ±1ppm.
Only some few low end devices and low power (25mW), use XTAL adjusted to ±5ppm, even so it’s several times better than the RF chips need.
This excellent stability, does that when the systems are far away or receive the signal very weak the devices continue to work correctly.
The master oscillator can be calibrated.
Systems with TXCO, practically don’t need it. To calibrate, you must have a frequency meter with a rubidium time base or stability better than 0.5ppm.
The systems with quartz crystal can be adjusted. (Only by qualified technical personnel).
Multiband ISM. 866Mhz to 950Mhz
Free Bands ISM or ICM (Industrial Scientific and Medical).
Bands 866Mhz, 868Mhz, 902Mhz and 950Mhz, available and selectable by software.
Other bands: 169Mhz on demand, 433Mhz optinal.
Multiband possibility Simultaneous with Smart antennas.
Dual band simultaneously with two XPAD transmitters in pilot / co-pilot mode.
You can extend the bandwidth (>100kb) with smart antennas without decreasing range.
5G: Fifth generation of RF modules manufactured by DMD.
Evolution of RF modules tested for FPV-UAV since 2007 with more than 1.100hours FPV flight from our I+D technicians.
Stop to the Fail Safe or failures of RF, If everything is correct, rarely our pilots or some customer has had some fail safe in 9 years.
CRC32: Authenticated and secure RF packages.
FHSS: Spectrum extended by frequency hopping, with improved synchronization that allows several channels to interfere and the system to remain synchronized and immune. New system with faster FHSS synch recoveries: <300miliseg. In the XLRS system the pseudo-random jump sequence also has user code (in preparation).
Encryption optional of RF DES/AES 128b packages. More information…
Password specific in the Radio Frequency network.
Mavlink Radio Modem Integrated
Selectable bandwidth: 50 or 100kb.
You don’t need auxiliary radiomodem, you save antennas and problems in flight. More clean installation.
Mavlink protocol integrated in XLRS transmitter and XLRS receiver.
Compatible with autopilots: Pixhawk, PX4, APM, etc and others with Mavlink protocol.
The RF system uses a 32-bit IP address.
Network and configurable IPs.

Possibility to control “swarms” of Drones or UAvs. (Consult dmd@dmd.es).
Compatible with ACL Alpha Commands Language
Most XLRS systems have ACL radio commands.
Regardless of its functionality, the radio modules are compatible with the common commands for 5G radios.
You can send instant messages (SMS) to other XLRS-DMD devices in group or individually.
Compatible with Smart Antennas,
DMD Cellular Systems and Repeaters
The XLRS transmitters (XPAD, suitcase GCS, etc…) can be connected to one or several Smart Antennas to extend their characteristics.
Increase reach in large areas with Smart Antennas high gain directional.
You can use several simultaneous ISM bands (169 and 868Mhz for example).
Use a network of Smart antennas as repeaters and get coverage without BVLOS direct vision in extensive areas with mountains.

Repeater systems on demand, consult dmd@dmd.es.
FHSS, Frequency Hopping Spread Sprectrum
The frequency hop provides more robust communications than with a fixed channel. In many countries its use is mandatory.
