ANTENNA MEASUREMENT USING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949994 titled 'ANTENNA MEASUREMENT USING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for testing a radio transmitter using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed in the environment surrounding the transmitter. One of the UAVs can act as a control unit to facilitate communication between the transmitter and the other UAVs, allowing for real-time transmission of measurements for adjusting the radio transmission or reception.
- Multiple UAVs deployed around a radio transmitter
- One UAV acts as a control unit for communication
- Real-time transmission of measurements for adjustments
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in the testing and optimization of radio transmitters in various environments, such as urban, rural, or remote areas.
Problems Solved
This system solves the challenge of efficiently testing radio transmitters in different conditions and configurations by providing simultaneous measurements from multiple points in the environment.
Benefits
The system allows for quick adjustments to the radio transmission or reception based on real-time feedback, improving the performance and reliability of the transmitter.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include the development and testing of radio transmitters for various industries such as telecommunications, broadcasting, and military communications.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of stationary measurement devices to test radio transmitters, which may not provide the same level of flexibility and real-time feedback as the proposed system with multiple UAVs.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system ensure the safety and coordination of multiple UAVs in the testing environment? 2. What are the limitations of using UAVs for testing radio transmitters in terms of range and interference?
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for testing a radio transmitter includes multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The multiple UAVs are deployed in the environment surrounding the radio transmitter, enabling simultaneous measurement of the signal emitted by the radio transmitter at multiple points in a variety of configurations. In some implementations, one of the UAVs can be configured as a control unit that facilitates communication between the radio transmitter and the remaining UAVs. In this manner, measurements can be transmitted from the UAVs to the transmitter in real-time. These measurements can then be used as feedback to quickly adjust the radio transmission or reception or to update the flight pattern of the UAVs.
