Through the switching unit, the amplification unit is started to realize amplification transmission of the communication signals; and under the condition of ensuring communication effect, energy consumption of the system can be saved as much as possible, and endurance time is increased.
The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle communication device and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The device comprises a positioning unit, which is used for determining the flying distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle and transmitting the flying distance to a judgment unit; the judgment unit, which is used for judging the relation between the flying distance and a preset threshold value; a switching unit, which enables a first communication path to be connected when the judgment unit judges the flying distance is larger than the preset threshold value; a transmit-receive unit, which is used for carrying out receiving and/ or sending on communication signals; and an amplification unit, which is connected with the transmit-receive unit, and is used for carrying out amplification on the communication signals needing to be sent by the transmit-receive unit and/ or the communication signals received by the transmit-receive unit under the condition that the first communication path is connected. Through the switching unit, when the flying distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle is larger than the preset threshold value, the amplification unit is started to realize amplification transmission of the communication signals; and under the condition of ensuring communication effect, energy consumption of the system can be saved as much as possible, and endurance time is increased.
