  Abstract

This study proposes a method for measuring base station antenna patterns using the latest Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) technology. Compared to traditional measurement methods using manned aircraft or helicopters, the use of drones significantly improves the convenience of the measurement process and reduces costs. The developed prototype, Unmanned Aerial System for Antenna Measurement (UASAM), enables the direct measurement of base station antenna radiation patterns in actual installation environments and makes it easier to identify information such as the tilt of base station antennas. This approach not only contributes to increasing the efficiency of base station operations but also opens up possibilities for various applications including analysis of broadcasting antenna patterns and interference analysis using this information. Further research is deemed necessary on performance and precision under various weather conditions.
