Circularly Polarized Phased Antenna Array with Pseudo-Conical Scanning with an Application for UAVs Unmanned Landing

This work shows the main requirements for a system for an unmanned landing of a flying vehicle using a pseudo-conical scanning method. The research work focuses on the system sensor - a circularly polarized phased antenna array with pseudo-conical scanning, for locating, intercepting and controlling the detected object - UAV. A functional model of the considered antenna system, with nine beam states, is created. Simulated and measured results are presented.
