Description

Technical Field

[0002] In drone swarm communication, multiple drones need to maintain dynamic formation flight to perform collaborative tasks. However, due to the real-time changes in formation, the relative positions of the antennas are constantly adjusted, leading to a significant increase in antenna mutual coupling. This mutual coupling effect can cause problems such as signal interference, reduced radiation efficiency, and communication delays, severely restricting the stability of swarm communication.

[0003] In existing technologies, antenna optimization often employs static parameter design or offline simulation, which cannot adapt to dynamic environments. For example, while traditional genetic algorithms can globally search for the optimal solution, their computational time is too long to meet the real-time communication requirements of UAVs; and 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, leading to a sharp decline in performance under complex interference environments.
