Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | 2016 IEEE Metrology for Aerospace (MetroAeroSpace) | First Page: | 87 | Abstract: | The characterization of VHF and UHF antennas is very challenging owing to the very low-operative frequency. This paper presents a novel technique (originally developed for radio-astronomical applications) that can be suitable to measure ground-based aerospace antennas in real installation conditions, with an accurate and cost-effective method which does not require additional infrastructures. The system mainly consists of a micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), equipped with both a RF transmitter and an antenna, properly designed to operate as a far-field artificial test-source. Experimental results on a ground-based antenna at 50 MHz are provided. The extension of this technique to characterize service antennas (telemetry, remote control) onboard aerial vehicles is also reported. A measured pattern example of a 433 MHz telemetry monopole mounted on a commercial UAV is shown. | Conference Name: | 2016 IEEE Metrology for Aerospace (MetroAeroSpace) | Conference Place: | Florence, Italy | Conference Date: | 22-23 June, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/25996 | URL: | https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7573191 | ISBN: | 978-1-4673-8292-2 | DOI: | 10.1109/MetroAeroSpace.2016.7573191 | Fulltext: | open |
