DTV field tests have been performed to measure field strength and to check reception ratio on indoor and outdoor sites. They use an antenna of 9m to measure DTV signal in case of outdoor measurement on the road. Modern skyscrapers require the analysis of vertical-directional wave propagation by measuring vertical-directional DTV signal. Even if the field strength is above the reception threshold of $43dB{\mu}V/m$, the reception is impossible in case of strong multi-path or high impulse noise. So, vertical-directional field measurement is essential in environment of tall buildings. In this paper, we developed an octo type multi-copter to measure vertical-directional DTV signal level. A compact and portable DTV signal level meter, an antenna, a microwave transmitter for data transmission, and a recording equipment are equipped in the multi-copter. Three different sites are selected to test the measurement system. Developed measurement system using the multi-copter is very useful in measuring vertical-directional DTV signal, especially in apartments, non-accessible area by vehicles, and forbidden areas.

An integrated flight simulation program for multicopter drones is presented. The program includes rigid body dynamics, propeller thrust, battery energy, control, and air. Using this program, users can monitor and analyze the states of drones along flight trajectories. As a programming language, Modelica has been chosen, that specializes in simulation program development. Modelica enables users to develop simulation programs efficiently due to acausal and object oriented properties. For missions including horizontal and vertical maneuvers, many dynamical states of drones have been analyzed with simulation results.

최근 들어 일반인들도 다중 콥터와 4k 고성능 카메라를 장착한 상용 드론을 구매하여 자신의 취미 활동용으로 사용하고 있다. 드론을 이용한 많은 동호회가 생겨나고 1인 1드론, 개인용 드론의 시대가 시작되고 있다. 또한 사물인터넷의 시대에 걸맞게 아두이노, 라즈베리파이와 같은 오픈하드웨어 플랫폼과 오픈 소스를 이용하고 저가형 3D printer 의 보급으로 자신만의 독특한 형태를 지니는 기체 제작을 시작하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 3D 캐드를 이용한 위상최적화 기법을 적용하여 기존 상용 기체의 강성은 그대로 유지하되 기체 프레임 무게를 절반으로 줄인다. 또한, 풍동실험을 진행해서 기존 기체에서 발생하는 유체흐름을 분석하고 새로운 기체를 적용했을 경우에도 유사한 유체흐름이 나타나도록 설계하여 3D 프린터를 사용하여 제작하였다.
