Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In drone group communications, multiple drones must maintain dynamic formation flight to perform collaborative missions. However, due to the real-time changes in the formation's configuration, the relative positions of the antennas are constantly adjusted, significantly increasing the mutual coupling effect between the antennas. This mutual coupling effect can cause signal interference, reduced radiation efficiency, and communication delays, severely restricting the stability of group communications.
[0003] Existing antenna optimization techniques often rely on static parameter design or offline simulation, which is incapable of adapting to dynamic environments. For example, while traditional genetic algorithms can globally search for optimal solutions, their computational time is prohibitively long, making them inadequate for real-time UAV communication. Simple adjustment strategies based on fixed thresholds ignore the nonlinear relationship between formation configuration and mutual coupling effects. Furthermore, existing systems lack support for multi-objective collaborative optimization, resulting in a sharp decline in performance in complex interference environments.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a collaborative optimization system that can analyze antenna mutual coupling in real time, quickly adjust radiation parameters, and adapt to dynamic formation environments to improve the reliability and efficiency of UAV group communications.

The present invention rapidly constructs an electromagnetic field distribution matrix based on real-time collected antenna spacing, signal strength, and attitude data, and shortens the field distribution iteration time through parallel calculation. The genetic algorithm adopts an elite retention strategy and adaptive crossover mutation probability in the optimization process to reduce redundant searches. After the two work together, the optimization time in typical scenarios is shortened, and the efficiency is improved compared to traditional genetic algorithms. It can dynamically track the changes in the morphology of drone formations and adjust antenna parameters in real time to ensure low latency and high stability of the communication link.
[0061] 3. The present invention calculates the mutual coupling coefficient and communication quality score in real time through the optimization control unit, and dynamically generates an optimization priority list, giving priority to processing nodes with significant mutual coupling effects and poor communication quality. At the same time, by introducing formation reorganization instructions, it can actively avoid the nonlinear mutation area of mutual coupling. This mechanism enables the system to adaptively adjust the optimization strategy in dynamic formations, thereby improving the efficiency of mutual coupling suppression.
[0062] 4. The present invention adopts a multi-objective fitness function to integrate the goals of maximizing radiation efficiency and minimizing mutual coupling coefficient, and achieves a dynamic balance between the goals through weight coefficients. In a complex electromagnetic interference environment, the system uses a genetic algorithm to globally search for the Pareto optimal solution, ensuring that the radiation efficiency drops at a low level while the mutual coupling coefficient can be stabilized below the threshold, significantly improving the robustness in complex scenarios.
