A PORTABLE MONOPULSE TRACKING ANTENNA FOR UAV COMMUNICATIONS
暂无分享,去创建一个
This paper describes a portable tracking antenna system that is used for line of sight communications with the small UAVs being developed by Monash University. The antenna is a wire-frame parabolic antenna that is mechanically rotated in an elevation over azimuth mode in response to tracking signals derived from the UAV video link transmissions. The antenna feed system is arranged in a four channel monopulse format to derive the steering signals for the tracking and a single bore sight channel for the data reception. Biography Stewart Jenvey worked for ten years in the avionics, antennas and mobile radio communications industries in the United Kingdom and Australia. He joined Monash University in 1990 where he pursues his main areas of interests of antenna systems and indoor radio propagation. Over the past eight years he has taught several courses in these fields as a visiting lecturer to Lulea University of Technology.
