摘要

The SmartAntenna proposes a novel approach to extend wireless communication, focussing on autonomous orientation to extend range and optimise performance. Through meticulous evaluation, various aspects of its functionality were evaluated, revealing both strengths and areas for improvement. In particular, the antenna tracking mechanism exhibited remarkable efficacy. The SmartAntenna demonstrated robust functionality throughout extensive testing, underscoring its reliability even amidst complex operational scenarios. However, challenges emerged during target tracking, particularly evident in 360 \(^\circ \) sweeps, necessitating further refinement to enhance accuracy. Despite reliance on the HC-12 module, Long Range Wide Area (LoRa), performance limitations surfaced, raising concerns about its suitability for production systems, especially within noisy frequency bands. Nevertheless, the SmartAntenna’s adaptability across various wireless technologies holds promise, opening avenues for extended communication ranges and diverse applications. SmartAntenna research contributes valuable insights into optimizing wireless communication systems, paving the way for enhanced performance and expanded capabilities in diverse operational environments.
