Popis: Small, consumer grade unmanned aerial systems (UAS) provide a cost-effective solution in many wireless communications applications where access to typical terrestrial based communications methods might not be feasible. In this work we characterize and model the small-scale wireless channel effects of the UAS-to-ground wireless channel in residential and mountainous desert terrains. In particular, we focus on constructing statistical models of the wireless channel for small rotary wing UAS flying at low altitudes (
