  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Controller
    Publication number: 20240255944
    Abstract: An apparatus that includes a controller of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a cover, and antennas integrated into the cover and electrically connect to circuitry of the controller. The controller includes control elements configured to receive inputs. The cover is coupled to the controller and movable between a closed position, in which the control elements are covered, and an open position in which the control elements are exposed. The cover includes one or more ribs integrated into an interior surface of the cover and defining cavities of the cover. The cover also includes a conductive plane coupled to the one or more ribs that encloses the cavities.

  • Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller
    Patent number: 11947348
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller may have control elements configured to receive inputs from a user. A cover may be coupled to the controller. The cover may be movable between a closed position in which the control elements are covered and an open position in which the control elements are exposed. An antenna may be integrated in the cover. The antenna may be electrically connected to circuitry in the controller for communicating with a UAV. In some implementations, a conductive plane and/or an insulating plane may be integrated in the cover. In some implementations, a heatsink, a fan, and/or a support mechanism may be arranged on an under portion of the controller. In some implementations, a circuit board including a cutout may be arranged inside the controller.
