This work analyzes and selects the antennas for the telecommunication system of the SFR1 sounding rocket, developed at the University of Padua for the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC). The main goal is to ensure a stable and reliable radio link between the rocket and the ground station during all flight phases. The study included a preliminary analysis of UHF standards, electromagnetic simulations, and experimental tests aimed at evaluating the performance of different antenna configurations under realistic operating conditions. The results showed that the combination of monopole antennas on board and a Yagi antenna at the ground station provides adequate and robust performance, representing an optimal and sustainable solution for the mission requirements.
Il presente lavoro analizza e seleziona le antenne destinate al sistema di telecomunicazione del sounding rocket SFR1, sviluppato dall’Università di Padova per la competizione European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC). L’obiettivo principale è garantire un collegamento radio stabile ed affidabile tra il vettore e la stazione di terra durante tutte le fasi del volo. L’attività ha previsto uno studio preliminare sugli standard UHF, simulazioni elettromagnetiche e test sperimentali, volti a valutare le prestazioni di diverse configurazioni di antenne in condizioni operative realistiche. I risultati hanno mostrato che la combinazione di antenne monopolo a bordo e di un’antenna Yagi presso la stazione ricevente fornisce prestazioni adeguate e robuste, costituendo una soluzione ottimale e sostenibile per i requisiti di missione.

The study included a preliminary analysis of UHF standards, electromagnetic simulations, and experimental tests aimed at evaluating the performance of different antenna configurations under realistic operating conditions. The results showed that the combination of monopole antennas on board and a Yagi antenna at the ground station provides adequate and robust performance, representing an optimal and sustainable solution for the mission requirements.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
