Application: System and method for solar cell array communication (Patent ID: US20240129025A1)
The patent filed by AeroVironment Inc. describes a method for a solar cell array to emit a communication message by reverse biasing the array to cause radiation emission corresponding to the message. The method involves emitting messages through selective solar strings, displaying various types of messages such as patterns, characters, or images, and encoding messages in different ways like time variant or intensity variant encoding. The communication messages can be emitted as visible light or infrared messages, and can be displayed visually on the solar cell array.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for communicating messages with a solar cell array on a high altitude long endurance aircraft. The method involves displaying messages on the solar cell array, detecting them using a satellite, and relaying the messages to a platform below the aircraft. Similar to the previous method, messages can be emitted through selective solar strings, displayed in various forms, and encoded differently. The messages can be emitted as visible light or infrared messages and displayed visually on the solar cell array.
