Several member states gathered in Aveiro for this measurement campaign with the goal of recording drone RF signals unde three scenarios: 1. rural, 2. semi-urban and 3. urban RF environment. We recorded drone RF signals in a military base (controlled environment), then in the campus of the University of Aveiro (semi-controlled environment with some transmissions in the background), and in an uncontrolled environment near the city center (drone RF signals with many transmissions in the same bands/RF interferences).

This campaign also allowed us to assess the enhancement capabilities of using UAVs to enhance ground networks. These tests are a follow up to the results presented in the paper linked below.

Field tests using Doodle Labs radios deployed on the ground and on drones were designed to assess the viability of such relays. This measurement campaign allowed us to gather relevant data regarding the selection of the antennas to be used and showed promising results for great distance relaying. It also supports the promising capabilities of the relay placement method developed from our algorithm described in paper found in the link below.
