“…A number of researchers have proposed different UAV antenna design techniques and their implementation for both the fixed‐wing and QRC type UAVs. Initially, blade antennas were mostly preferred for the UAV communications, but recently embedded antennas and antenna arrays are also being proposed for the UAV communication .…”

A triple‐band 1 x 2 microstrip patch antenna array is proposed for use in next generation flying ad‐hoc network (FANET) communication in multi‐UAV systems. The antenna array resonates in the 3.6 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 6.7 GHz frequency bands, respectively. The antenna was designed and simulated using Agilent ADS Momentum using FR4 epoxy glass substrate (εr = 4.2 and h = 1.66mm). A hybrid feed technique is used for antenna arrays with quarter‐wave transformer based network to match the impedance from the feed‐point to the antenna to 50Ω. The antenna is optimized to resonate at triple‐bands by introducing two symmetrical slits at the non‐radiating edges of the patch. The bandwidths achieved for the three bands are 130 MHz, 125 MHz and 180 MHz, respectively, which are very practical. The antenna array design is less complex and can be used for the advanced antenna beam‐steering systems in next generation FANETs. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Therefore, a single antenna with dual‐band characteristic is preferred. In addition, vertically polarized and monopole‐like radiation pattern is preferred for a UAV because the path losses increase with the increase of the distance between the aircraft and the GCS . Desirable features for the UAV antenna also include low profile, compact size, and firm configuration.…”

A dual‐band, low‐profile, vertically‐polarized annular ring slot antenna is presented. The antenna consists of an annular ring slot structure and a ring‐shaped structure. The ring‐shaped structure is attached on the back of the annular ring slot structure using two sets of conductive vias to avoid increasing the size of the proposed antenna. Dual‐band characteristic is realized by adjusting the radius of the annular ring slot structure and the ring‐shaped structure. Analysis of the dual‐band characteristic of the proposed antenna is discussed. The proposed antenna is vertically polarized and provides a monopole‐like radiation pattern on both the frequency bands. The ground size of the proposed antenna is the same size as the antenna radius. The ground plane is relatively small comparing with most of the other vertically polarized patch antennas. The edge of the proposed antenna is shorted by a set of conductive vias. The proposed antenna is insensitive to the surrounding environment and thus can be embedded in a metallic unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). A prototype with a height of 3.048 mm (0.03λ) and radius of 55 mm (0.45λ) is designed, fabricated, and measured. The proposed antenna works at 2.38 and 2.58 GHz. In addition, the proposed antenna embedded in a metallic UAV is simulated. The results show that the metallic UAV has small effect on the performance of the antenna. The proposed antenna is suitable for the operations of being controlled by a ground control station (GCS) and transmitting data to the GCS simultaneously for a small UAV. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract-A miniaturized annular ring slot antenna is presented. The antenna consists of an annular ring slot structure and a novel folded matching structure. The annular ring slot structure is printed on a substrate and shorted concentrically with a set of conductive vias. The additional matching structure is a ring cavity attached to the back of the annular ring slot structure. Firstly, the diameter of the proposed antenna is reduced by using the folded matching structure comparing with traditional annular ring slot antennas. Secondly, the impedance matching of the proposed antenna is achieved by optimizing the size of the matching structure. A prototype of the proposed antenna with a height of 3.048 mm (0.03λ) and a radius of 47.2 mm (0.4λ) is designed, fabricated and measured. The antenna resonates at 2.67 GHz and has a monopole-like radiation pattern, which shows that the antenna is suitable for the applications of taking off, landing, and long distance communications for a small or mini UAV.
