Development of active directional antennae for use in small UAVs
Development of active directional antennae for use in small UAVs
Five different light-weight, medium and high gain directional antennas have been developed, which can be operated together with a gimbals system on the UAV or an antenna tracker system on the ground or with both to extend the range of communication and improve the quality of video signals. The antennas are based on PCB to reduce the mass. There are two types of antennas developed for different transmission frequency: Patch Antenna and Yagi-Uda Antenna. The gimbals system are under developing, which will be based on Arduino Micro Development Board, also quite light, and the board will drive a pan and tilt structure constructed with two small but powerful servos to ensure the antenna to point at the ground station.

Abstract
Five different light-weight, medium and high gain directional antennas have been developed, which can be operated together with a gimbals system on the UAV or an antenna tracker system on the ground or with both to extend the range of communication and improve the quality of video signals. The antennas are based on PCB to reduce the mass. There are two types of antennas developed for different transmission frequency: Patch Antenna and Yagi-Uda Antenna. The gimbals system are under developing, which will be based on Arduino Micro Development Board, also quite light, and the board will drive a pan and tilt structure constructed with two small but powerful servos to ensure the antenna to point at the ground station.
