Distributed Beamforming with UAVs
In this project, we wish to leverage the heterogenous effect that the UAV body can have on wireless signal to our advantage to reduce the feedback overhead in a distributed beamforming scenario. We have conducted some preliminary experiments that show that a receiver drone can impact the incoming phases of distributed transmit signals in such a way as to increase the received signal strength simply by rotating.
