UAS-Based Antenna Pattern Measurements and Radar Characterization
This paper presents an update of the current in-situ antenna characterization and calibration of a radar system using an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) developed by the Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) at The University of Oklahoma. A large multirotor platform was customized for long endurance (~ 30 minutes), high positioning accuracy (< 3cm), and high stability, and was integrated with a high precision 3-axis gimbal that holds an antenna array and pulse generator-transmitter. The platform was designed to support measurements from 2 GHz to 10 GHz, however, the current setup described in this article includes an S-band array probe of 3×3 elements. The RF probe beamwidth was optimized to minimize reflections from the UAS frame and to provide accurate antenna measurements in flight conditions.
