Analysis and Design Optimization of Robust Aperiodic Micro-UAV Swarm-Based Antenna Arrays

Micro-UAV swarm-based antenna arrays provide a novel solution for high-risk radar imaging applications. These apertures lack a single point of failure by distributing their resources and sensors across multiple platforms. However, turbulence and positional errors provide a challenging operational en...
