UAV-based application for electromagnetic compatibility testing

摘要

An interest has been attracted in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for its widely practical applications, which can also deal with some difficulties in traditional electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. The UAV is regarded as a flying platform carrying a generator source or a receiving monitor to perform the measurement of electromagnetic susceptibility or electromagnetic radiation emission. Several typical testing scenarios are presented in this paper, and the methods of their realization are analyzed in detail. Although there exists some challenges in the flying test due to the characteristics of the UAV, some effective measures can also be taken to improve the measurement.
