Abstract
A novel radiation pattern measurement system for VHF and UHF antennas has been recently developed using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology. This paper discusses the effect of the UAV orientation and the applicable corrections on the pattern extraction procedure, in order to increase the accuracy and repeatability of the measurements.
