Description
Summary:This paper presents the first implementation of a multi-channel receiver based on a software-defined radio for outdoor near-field measurements with unmanned aerial vehicles. The flying test-source is untethered, and the phase information is retrieved from a reference antenna. The system has been tested outdoor at 750 MHz. The drone position is measured with the onboard real-time kinematic receiver.
