Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, also known as drones, are vehicles controlled remotely. First-Person View (FPV) technology allows these vehicles to have greater versatility and be more easily piloted. The antennas currently used for video transmission are bulky and uncomfortable, so there is a need for this volume to be reduced to increase portability, being this the focus of the paper. The antenna was developed in textile materials to reduce its size and weight, as these materials allow for a better comfort and a reduced footprint. This paper presents a microstrip array adapted for the frequencies used in FPV video transmission. The designed textile antenna was compared with a commercially available rigid antenna used for this transmission. The comparison shows promising results for the antenna made of textile materials. The main goal of increasing the comfort and portability of the FPV goggles was achieved.
Highlights
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), known as drones, are aerial vehicles that can be controlled remotely and do not require a crew on board
This paper proposes a new application for wearable antennas by designing and testing a textile array for First-Person View (FPV) goggles
The transmitting antenna is located on the drone, which is constantly moving in relation to the reception antenna located on the FPV goggles
Summary
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), known as drones, are aerial vehicles that can be controlled remotely and do not require a crew on board. This technology requires a connection between a display, which will be the FPV goggles, and the camera onboard of the drone that will transmit the image via a video transmitter. Both the problems mentioned before - the larger size and the added weight, combined with how these antennas connect to the goggles, make them often hang, resulting in them being loosely secured.
