Abstract
An antenna for charging and measurement may comprise: a telescopic support installed at a lower portion of an aerial vehicle and configured to contract when the aerial vehicle lands on a wireless station and extend when the aerial vehicle takes off from the wireless station; and an antenna coil part deformed into a spiral shape when the telescopic support is contracted so that the wireless station receives wireless power and deformed into a conical shape when the telescopic support is extended to measure a radio signal.

An antenna for charging and measurement, comprising:
- a telescopic support installed at a lower portion of an aerial vehicle and configured to contract when the aerial vehicle lands on a wireless station and extend when the aerial vehicle takes off from the wireless station;
- and
- an antenna coil part deformed into a spiral shape when the telescopic support is contracted so that the wireless station receives wireless power and deformed into a conical shape when the telescopic support is extended to measure a radio signal.
A method of operating an aerial vehicle including an antenna for charging and measurement, the method comprising:
- receiving wireless power from a wireless station using an antenna coil of the antenna for charging and measurement deformed into a spiral shape when the aerial vehicle lands on the wireless station;
- and
- measuring radio signals of the surroundings using the antenna coil of the antenna for charging and measurement deformed into a conical shape when the aerial vehicle takes off from the wireless station.
An aerial vehicle comprising:
- a processor;
- an antenna that performs charging and measurement;
- a memory configured to electronically communicate with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory,
- wherein, when the instructions are executed by the processor, the instructions cause the aerial vehicle to:
- receive wireless power from a wireless station using an antenna coil of the antenna for charging and measurement deformed into a spiral shape when landing on the wireless station;
- and
- measure radio signals around the aerial vehicle using the antenna coil of the antenna for charging and measurement deformed into a conical shape when the aerial vehicle takes off from the wireless station.
