Design of UAV Antennas and Challenges: Review

In the last decade, researchers have been attracted by the drone and its antenna design. Few years back, drone was used only for surveillance but now drone is using in various filed i.e., weather forecasting, transportation, communication, search & rescue etc. Antennas are the most important part of drone or UAV. Designing of antennas for drone is the challenging task for the researchers without increasing the overall weight of drone. In this article, classification of drone as per their weight, altitude and applications, different types of antennas have been discussed with its challenge. Different antenna design has been discussed and compared with different parameters.
