Abstract
This study presents the study of beamforming capabilities of arrays installed on a non-conductive unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The main purposes of this study are the application of a beamforming algorithm by including the airframe in the optimisations and the study of simplifications of the aircraft model, so as to allow performing full-wave simulations, even though the UAV is much larger than the operating wavelength. To validate the simplified electromagnetic model, antenna arrays have been designed and installed onto the UAV. Radiation pattern measurements demonstrate that the proposed simplifications yielded very good radiation pattern predictions and can be used as guidelines for simulation of other kinds of non-conductive aircrafts.
