Estimation of parameters for ground ADS-B radio channel model

Abstract

We propose the model of radio channel for ADS-B signal reception at the ground area of airport, which is typical by interference caused by multipath propagation. The model is based on a tapped delay line (TDL) model. The source data for model parameters estimation are obtained by measurements at Prague Vaclav Havel airport. We compare simulated results based on proposed model with experimental measurements.
