Measured and RT-based A2G Channel Dataset (CIR) under Urban Scenarios

Air-to-ground (A2G) channels play a pivotal role in reliable communications between drone and ground terminal. A2G channel modeling is a hot topic, however there is little measurement data in real scenarios for model validation and comparison. We have conducted channel measurements in urban scenario at the 3.6 GHz band with a bandwidth of 61.44 MHz. The antennas for both the Tx and Rx are replaced by dipole omnidirectional antennas. The street canyon is approximately 130 m in length and 15 m in width, surrounded by buildings ranging from 20 m to 44 m height. The ground Rx antenna is placed at a height of 2 m. Instrucitons can also be found in the guidemanual_Measured and RT-based Channel Dataset (CIR) under Urban Scenarios.pdf.
