Embedded Drone Detector Antenna

Maqsad: Compact antenna designed to be integrated into devices/systems for detecting drone RF links (control, video, telemetry) and supporting DF/localization.

Frequency coverage: Wideband design covering common drone bands (e.g., 433 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz) or selectable multiband modules.

Type & form-factor: Low-profile PCB or patch arrays, conformal/embedded antennas, or small phased arrays for angle-of-arrival capability.

Performance metrics: Key specs — gain, VSWR, bandwidth, front-to-back ratio, polarization (linear or circular) and sensitivity impact detection range.

Integration & outputs: Paired with RF front-end/SDR, DF algorithms, GPS/time sync and networked C2; requires filtering LNA and ADC interface for reliable signal processing.

Deployment considerations: Mounting location (height/obstruction), environmental sealing, EMC shielding, and regulatory compliance affect real-world detection and false-alarm rates.
