Abstract
AbstractAn accurate and effective method is extremely important for antenna pattern measurement. This is because antenna pattern, which directly shows the ability of antenna radiation, can affect antenna working and the whole system performance. However, it is difficult to measure the radiation pattern of large outdoor antennas. This paper presents a new precise three-dimensional (3D) antenna radiation pattern measurement method based on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technique. Cylindrical cone and horn antennas are tested to verify the effectiveness of the method. Comparison results show that the 3D antenna radiation pattern can be quickly obtained by using the proposed method with high accuracy.KeywordsRadiation patternUAVChannel model3D construction
