    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.
