Kurzfassung
Operating remotely piloted aircraft is not imaginable without a continuous data exchange between the air vehicle and the remote pilot. This data exchange requires reliable data links. One approach for such a data link discussed in the community is a terrestrial system deployed in C-band. A good knowledge of the physical conditions of the communication channel, in this case the air-ground/ground-air channel, is indispensable for the development of wireless data links. Therefore we carried out a 50MHz bandwidth channel sounding campaign with a terrestrial transmitter and an airborne receiver. In this paper we give a detailed description of our campaign setup and the processing of the collected data. The campaign covered several flight scenarios, such as take-off, taxiing, and multiple en-route maneuvers. We furthermore present results on the received power and the amplitude distribution of the first resolvable path of the received signal for the different flight scenarios. We observed significant drops in reception power during certain maneuvers that need to be considered in the design process of a data link for unmanned aviation. Additionally, we show that the amplitude distribution follows the distributions commonly used in statistical channel modeling of wireless channels to some extent. We finally present parameter sets for multiple flight scenarios for scaling the amplitude distributions to allow a statistical channel modeling of the reception power of the first resolvable signal path.
