This paper experimentally characterizes Air-to-Ground (A2G) and Ground-to-Air (G2A) wireless channels in open environments, considering distance and UAV heading. Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and TCP throughput were analyzed between ground users and UAVs at distances from 50m to 500m and various UAV headings. The study provides a more accurate channel model than deterministic models like Friis and two-ray, also characterizing the antenna radiation pattern based on UAV headings.
