Optimizing the Electromagnetic Environment at Tension Membrane Structured Drone Test Sites

The growing use of drones highlights the need for a reliable test site for electromagnetic and reliability evaluations. Tension membrane structures are popular for their low cost and large space, but their analysis of the electromagnetic environment, particularly GPS signals, is limited. This paper addresses the problem of weak GPS signals by analyzing the material properties of the tension membrane structure and confirming it through measurements. Electromagnetic simulation was then used to determine the optimal location of the GPS repeater and improve the electromagnetic environment. This process was verified through measurement.
