A Novel Structural-Shared Antenna for UAV Direction Retrodirective and Satellite-Integrated UAV Communication Applications
A novel pure metal structural-shared antenna for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed in this paper, enabling inter-UAV and UAV-satellite communication while featuring radar wave retrodirective capability for enhanced detection. The measured operating bandwidth of this antenna reaches 80.6%, with a maximum measured in-band gain of approximately 5.2 dB and 94% radiation efficiency. By incorporating a corner reflector structure, compared to a metal plate of the same area, the antenna exhibits significantly enhanced radar cross section (RCS) backscatter effects at millimeter-wave radar detection frequencies of 24 and 77 GHz, maintaining values above 15 and 20 dB, respectively. The antenna employs a cost-effective pure metal fabrication process and has been designed and adjusted to ensure omnidirectional radiation across a broadband range through dual resonance points. Experimental validation has confirmed its exceptional performance, demonstrating its potential in UAV communications and radar detection applications.
