In this paper, we propose a novel modulation scheme specialized in real time broadcast system using a multicopter. Since multicopters have many advantages in aerial photography, they have been widely used in broadcasting technologies. However, because of restrictions on flight time, it is difficult to utilize multicopters in real time broadcasting systems. Therefore, video transmission using multicopter is necessary for low power communication techniques in air channel environment. Performance results of the hybrid modulation in this paper are compared to that of conventional modulations with Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) simulations. The results also showed that proposed system is suitable for aerial photography. Experiments demonstrated the superiority of the proposed modulation scheme by showing received symbols through an USRP equipment.
