Abstract
In the recent years, the authors developed a system for the characterization of the radiation pattern of VHF and UHF antennas by means of a test-source mounted on a micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). So far, the adopted scan strategies typically consisted of two orthogonal straight paths at constant height from ground to obtain E- or H-plane cuts. In this paper, more complex scan strategies are presented to perform two-dimensional pattern measurements over planar and curved surfaces.
