Abstract: Measurement of wave height in the specify area of sea which has coral submarine topography and large waves is difficult if using an ocean wave instrument that still exist. This study conducted experiment of a new method to measure the height and period of a single wave in a region such those conditions. This measurement was performed using a drone that was connected with ultrasonic distance sensor. The data that were recorded in the sensor were the distance between the sensor to the sea level per second. The distance differences from time to time were an wave height. Signal analysis based on Fourier theorem was done to calculated superposition results from some waves. This measurement can be implemented in the specify area with low cost.
