Implication

Initial results show air-ground channel characteristics in a coastal setting for unmanned aircraft communications, highlighting key findings for future design.

Key Points

This research aims to characterize the air-ground channel for unmanned aircraft systems in a coastal environment, focusing on wideband measurements and modeling.
Conducted simultaneous channel impulse response measurements for L-band and C-band over the Pacific Ocean.
Utilized two receivers for each band to analyze antenna diversity.
Assessed power delay profiles and path loss for varied flight paths, focusing on moderate and low-elevation angles.
Reported initial measurements of delay dispersion statistics and channel parameter correlations across frequency and antennas.
Analysis highlights significant differences in channel characteristics under coastal conditions.
Provided data that will aid in developing statistical models for future unmanned aircraft communication systems.
