Abstract

This paper presents a design of UAVs-based 3D antenna arrays for a maximum performance in terms of directivity and side lobe level (SLL). This paper illustrates how to model the UAVs formation flight using 3D nonuniform antenna arrays. This design of 3D antenna arrays considers the optimization of the positions of the antenna elements to model the UAVs formation flight. In this case, a disk patch antenna is chosen to be used as element in each UAV.The disk patch antenna is formulated by the well-known cavitymodel.Thesynthesis process is carried out by the method of Differential Evolution forMultiobjective Optimization (DEMO). Furthermore, a comparison of the performance of 3Dnonuniformantenna arrays is provided with respect to themost conventional arrays (circular, planar, linear, and the cubic) for UAVs formation flight.
