Abstract

The measurements of air-to-air channel at C-band for coexistence among multiple unmanned aircraft (UA) systems are presented. The measurement campaign was performed to clarify the channel characteristic of the air-to-air radio propagation between small UAs. This paper presents a measurement result of our campaign on radio channel characteristics in C-band held in Japan in March 2016. The received signal consisting of the LOS component and multi-path component formed predominately by the single ground reflected wave was observed. These results can be used to model the statistical channel characteristics in order to assist an efficient sharing of the airspace with multiple UAs.
