Abstract
The operating environment introduces distortions on the antenna patterns, that are not considered in the classical application of the link budget formula that approximates the gain values of the antennas with their maximum value. The proposed method considers the antenna patterns modified by the environment as well as the flight conditions of UAV by means of full-wave or ray tracing simulations. The comparison between measurement and simulation shows that the proposed model is accurate and suitable for the design of the radio system of UAV.
