Giuseppe Virone, Senior Researcher at Cnr-Ieiit has been appointed as guest editor for a special section on "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-based Antenna and Field Measurements" for the Ieee Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation (Ojap).
Giuseppe Virone published the first paper with measured results on this topic in 2014. He organized the first conference special session in 2016 (Ieee-Cama) and many other subsequent editions and international workshops. His research team already received two best conference paper awards on this topic. The follow up of this research will be carried out in close collaboration with the Cnr UAS working group (Ing. A. Berton).
Aim and scope of Ojap special section: Innovative strategies are required for the performance verification of large radiotelescope antennas, satellite ground stations, agglomerates of broadcast and cellular base stations (4G, 5G and beyond), antennas on large platforms such as ships or aircraft for both radar and telecommunication applications. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are nowadays being exploited as flying source/probe antenna positioners in various innovative indoor, outdoor and in-situ measurements from HF to millimetre-waves. Both near- and far-field strategies are being developed and tested. These topics will be covered in this Special Section with particular reference to measurement approaches and data processing, onboard antenna design, RF/UAV hardware setup, positioning strategies and the corresponding accuracy.
