International Civil Aviation Organization ACP WG-F/31 IP02 AERONAUTICAL COMMUNICATIONS PANEL (ACP) 31st MEETING OF WORKING GROUP F Seattle, Washington, USA 6-10 October, 2014 Agenda Item 10: Any Other Business L-Band and C-Band Air-Ground Channel Measurement Modeling Update (Prepared by David Matolak, Kurt Shalkhauser and Robert Kerczewski) (Presented by Robert Kerczewski) SUMMARY This information paper is intended to provide an update to ICAO WG-F of the progress of L-Band and C-Band air-ground channel model development based on data gathered through a propagation flight measurement campaign performed by NASA. The L-Band and C-Band frequencies being modeled will support the line-of-sight Control and Non-Payload Communications (CNPC) for unmanned aircraft systems. An update on the development of over-water channel models and initial results for hilly terrain are presented. INTRODUCTION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been conducting air-ground (AG) channel propagation measurement and modelling for two frequency bands proposed for use by Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Control and Non-Payload Communications (CNPC), under NASA’s UAS Integration in the National Airspace System Project. Information papers presented at previous meetings of Working Group F have provided: a description of plans to conduct a series of flight tests to measure the propagation characteristics of the air-ground (AG) channel at 960-977 MHz and 5030-5091 MHz and use the resulting data to enable the development of detailed AG channel models (ACP-WG-F/25 WP 13, ACP-WG-F/26 IP8); the propagation measurement system and channel modelling approach (ACP-WG-F/28 IP3); a description of the first four sets of flight tests (ACP-WG-F/29 IP 5); and initial analysis of channel measurement data and channel model elements for over-sea terrain condition (ACP-WG-F/30 IP 8). Recent work on the air-ground (AG) channel characterization process has focu
