Autopilot Drone with Rectenna for 28GHz Microwave Irradiation Measurement

To apply wireless powered drone, the 28GHz experiment attached rectennas on lower surface of drone was carried out. The drone was autonomously controlled, and parameters of controller was optimized by IFT method. The result shows that maximum DC output power is 24.9mW at 0.3m from transmitting antenna and efficiency between DC and transmitter is 1.1%. In the view of drone control, stable autonomous flight is achieved and the horizontal position error is 15cm.
