FIG 05 Antenna placement · multirotor plan view
Antenna placement on a multirotor airframe A plan view of a quadrotor. The GNSS or CRPA antenna sits at the centre of the airframe inside a dashed separation ring; the four motor and speed-controller positions and the command-and-control datalink whip are the near-field emitters it has to be kept clear of. CRPA / GNSS MOTOR / ESC ×4 SEPARATION C2 DATALINK
Antenna position against the near‑field emitters it shares the airframe with. Illustrative. SeparationEmitters
Placement
Where the antenna goes, what it can see, and what the airframe puts in the way.
Electromagnetic environment
Self‑interference from motors, speed controllers, datalinks and payloads — measured on the airframe rather than assumed from datasheets.
Budgets and interfaces
Mass, power and thermal allocation, and the interfaces to autopilot, payload and ground segment.
Ground and flight test
Bench, ground‑run and flight test plans, with data captured well enough to diagnose what happened.

A one-hour scoping call, no charge.
