“…When dealing with UAVs, it is important to understand how the previous results change when the blade antenna is placed on real UAVs, which can be covered in composite or plastic materials, with the metallic parts laying underneath. Similar evaluations have been already carried out for commercial aircraft [24][25][26] where the fuselage is many wavelengths bigger than the antenna and the operating frequency, but as far as the authors are concerned, literature currently lacks similar studies for UAV bodies although a preliminary assessment has been introduced in [27].…”

This paper is aimed at the characterization and manufacturing of an SMA coaxial fed compact blade antenna with dual frequency characteristics for broadband applications on board of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs). This antenna is linearly polarized, and it combines the benefits of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and 5th Generation (5G) communications in one single element, covering both the 1.030–1.090 GHz and the 3.4–3.8 GHz bands thanks to a bent side and a ‘C’ shaped slot within the radiation element. Starting from the simulation outcomes on an ideal ground plane, the results are here extended to a bent ground plane and on two UAV commercial CAD models. Details of manufacturing of the antenna in both aluminium and FR-4 substrate materials are presented. The comparison between measurements and simulations is discussed in terms of return loss, bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern. Results show an antenna with a low profile and a simple structure that can be employed in various wideband communication systems, suiting future UAV assisted 5G networks while being perfectly compliant with forthcoming ADS-B based Detect-And-Avoid (DAA) technologies in Unmanned Aerial Traffic Management (UTM).

In this paper, we completely eliminate all numerical integrations needed to compute the far-field envelope crosscorrelation (ECC) in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems by deriving accurate and efficient analytical expressions for the frequency-domain cross-correlation Green's functions (CGF), the most fundamental electromagnetic kernel needed for understanding and estimating spatial correlation metrics in multiple-antenna configurations. The analytical CGF is derived for the most general three-dimensional case, which can be used for fast CGF-based correlation matrix calculations in MIMO systems valid for arbitrary locations and relative polarizations of the constituent elements.

This paper presents the design of a wideband blade shaped monopole antenna with a horizontally mounted aluminium tube on top of the blade covering 135-175 MHz frequency band using Electromagnetic Simulation software (CST Microwave Studio TM) along with a matching network whose characteristics have been evaluated by the Optimal Matching Network Identifier (OMNI) algorithm. OMNI algorithm is a search technique used in computing, to find the optimum solution. The conventional quarter wavelength monopole antenna is a narrow band antenna with bandwidth of the order of 5% to 10% at its centre frequency. In order to increase the bandwidth of the antenna, a proper matching network has been incorporated along with it. Toroidal inductor based matching networks have been designed, and their characteristics are evaluated using Optimal Matching Network Identifier (OMNI) program in MATLAB software. By consolidating MATLAB and CST simulated results, the antenna prototype along with the optimal matching network has been practically implemented, and corresponding results have been verified. The details of simulated and measured results are also included. The proposed antenna finds numerous applications in various wideband communication systems.
