UAV Urban Channels at 5 GHz Part II: Patch Antenna
Abstract
This report is the second in a series simulating UAV wireless relays supporting small-unit mobile ground forces deployed in a 3-D digital city. Both reports employ the Coyote as the simulated UAV platform but use different antennas on the UAV. The first report put a bottom-mounted whip antenna establishing a baseline performance at 500 MHz. This second report employs a bottom-mounted patch antenna at 5 GHz. Both reports show the UAV relaying between two street-level nodes has more throughput than the ground-to-ground link. This report shows the UAV loitering over two street-level nodes delivers an average of 332 Mbps at 1 Watt total power while the ground-to-ground link delivers 0.5 Mbps at the same power.
