The airborne communications
equipment performing video down link and command uplink, is also
"hungry" for scarce power resources. The use of miniature, low
power high frequency communications, specially designed for such
applications, provide an important element in a successful MAV
design. As higher the frequencies are, the antennae can be shorter
and smaller. Since most MAVs are built of composite materials,
antennas can be integrated into the vehicle's structure to gain
maximum coverage and minimize electromagnetic interference between
on board radio systems.
