Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are extensively being used in exploration, surveillance and military applications. Such vehicles often collect data via special sensors and send the data back to the central station via wireless links. Printed antennas embedded in wing structures will eliminate the drag due to friction, and allow for extended load capability due to their extra light weight. In addition, such antennas will play a major role in creating embedded antenna arrays. In this work, we present three extra small size embedded monopole printed antennas as part of the wing structure for a UAV operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The designed and measured prototype results are presented and compared.
