Description

A pattern reconfigurable antenna system for LoRa 868 MHz communications is characterized in a practical case scenario involving Drone-to-Ground communications. The effectiveness of the beam-steering antenna is confirmed through Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) airborne measurements, which indicate that the reconfiguration becomes more efficient as the distance increases.
