复杂平台上低频天线的辐射方向图测量是一项具有挑战性的工作，因为天线尺寸大，远场要求距离远。为了提出针对该问题的解决方案，尝试通过使用无人驾驶飞行器进行辐射图测量。无线电控制（R/C）模型飞机配备了自动驾驶仪系统用于概念演示。对数周期天线被用作被测天线，并测量天线的方位辐射方向图。实测方向图与仿真方向图吻合较好，表明该无人机可用于天线方向图的测量。
The in-situ radiation pattern measurement of low frequency antennas on complex platforms is a challenging job due to the large antenna sizes and large distances for far field requirements. In order to propose a solution for this problem, an attempt is made by using an unmanned aerial vehicle for the radiation pattern measurement. A radio controlled (R/C) model aircraft equipped with an autopilot system is used for the concept demonstration. A log-periodic antenna is used as the antenna under test and the azimuthal radiation pattern of the antenna is measured. The quite good agreement of the measured pattern with that of the simulated pattern promises that the UAV may be used for antenna radiation pattern measurement.
