Low-Cost Beamforming Concept for the Control of Radiation Patterns of Antenna Arrays Installed onto UAVs

This paper presents a low-cost architecture that allows for beamforming with antenna arrays installed onto unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Beam switching is proposed to improve the antenna gain towards the ground station with two three-element arrays installed below the wings of the UAV. The electr...
