Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Traditional UAV Positioning
3. Results
3.1. Dual Antenna System Theory
3.2. Experiments
4. Discussion
5. Conclusions
- (1)
- improving the security of dual antenna direction-finding and magnetic compass direction-finding; and
- (2)
- when the UAV accelerometer has problems, the dual antenna baseline solution can be used to calculate the roll and pitch angle of UAVs.
