Dynamic shielding system of cellular signals for an antenna of an unmanned aerial vehicle

This invention describes a drone system that uses a movable shield around its cellular antenna. Before or during flight, the drone determines its flight path and uses information about how cellular signals travel at ground level to position the shield. This shield blocks signals from specific directions, helping the drone communicate with cell towers by making its antenna behave as if it were at ground level.

Why it matters: The claims require dynamic shield adjustment based on complex signal propagation. Advances in AI-driven real-time signal modeling and compact, precise drone-mounted actuators since 2021 could make this more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedDynamic physical shield, control software, signal modeling
