The invention discloses a large-scale antenna field directional diagram measuring
system and method for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles. The
system includes a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehiclesubsystem, a
signal source link subsystem, a receiving link subsystem and a
data processing subsystem. A multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is used to fly at
near and far field areas of a to-be-measured antenna according to a set
cruise mission; through remote real-
time control on a
signal source link module, an electromagnetic wave
signal in the air can be swept and received in real time; and through the screening, error compensation and data fitting on a received level signal, final directional diagram information can be generated, and the maximum
radiation direction, 3dB lobe width, sidelobe level, front-to-back ratios and corresponding position information can be given. On-the-spot directional diagram performance measuring of large-scale antennas under service status can be realized,so that accurate measured data can be provided for fault diagnosis; the
system is convenient in operation, high
in degree of
automation and simple in dismounting; and single sortie flight can accomplish the testing of multifrequency directional diagrams.
