碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 航空太空工程學系碩博士班 === 96 === Radio Data System (RDS) is a mature technique which has been developed over the past 20 years. Due to the common use of FM radio, the traits of low estate requirement and the convenience in broadcasting, RDS is suitable for using in wireless transmission of large-range and low-load data. This article proposes the application of RDS in the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) of Ultra Light Aircrafts. The real time surveillance information from the airport control center of ultra light aircrafts can be wirelessly transmitted to the RDS receiver in the aircrafts. Because of the low-price of RDS broadcast station to widespread receiver application, the RDS is used as a redundant system to GPRS surveillance for ultra light aircrafts on the electronics flight instrument system (EFIS) developing project. The proposed RDS application is established onto EFIS with verification tests to support the designed capability.
