UAV Urban Channels Part 1: Bottom-Mounted Whip at 500 MHz

Abstract

This report simulates the wireless channels of a low-flying UAV relaying communications between small-unit mobile ground units operating in urban environments. The wireless channels are simulated by the Numerical Electromagnetics Code-Basic Scattering Code (NEC-BSC) [16]. This code approximates the 3-D electric field propagating throughout the city to user-specified accuracy. This electric field encompass the digital 3-D city, the multipath propagation, and the antenna patterns of both the UAV and the ground units. Consequently, the simulations represent wireless UAV relay channels with sufficient accuracy to assess relative performance shifts.
