Abstract: A statistical model for UAV (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle) communication channel is derived. The components of UAV communication channel and the channel impulse response are discussed. The situation of flight is divided into three major scenarios: en-route, circled, taking off and landing. Numerical simulation has been done according to the parameters from theoretical calculations and references. The model built in this paper has great significance to performance simulation of the UAV communication channel when no measurement data are available.

Key words: UAV, channel model, WSSUS, specular reflection, multipath component
