Abstract
—This paper presents the relationship between energy and signal integrity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) capabilities for a more informed
off-the-shelf selection desi
gn. The energy is expressed in the UAV and SAR power consumption, whereas signal integrity is expressed in Bit-Error Rate (BER). Low-end, mid-end, and highend—
categorized in terms of their market cost—commercial UAVs and SAR modules were considered. The energy relations are based on the UAV flight path and power ratings. The signal
processing and decomposition of the recon
structed objects for the model simulations are based on a transmit channel-receive chain of 16-quadrature-amplitude, low-density parity check, Rayleigh response, and single-antenna directivity done through Nvidia Sionna. The results indicate that far-reaching flight spatial path scanning is achieved with high-end UAVs and low-cost SARs, but the accuracy is relatively low. Higher accuracy is achieved
with low-end UAVs with high-cost SARs. Further, the results point out that selecting UAV-SAR is critical in terms of energy and accuracy for a specific target application. The outcomes show tradeoffs in the selection design.
