This chapter discusses the characteristics of the wireless channel for the airport surface area. It provides a motivation for this topic, some background on wireless channels and modeling, and specific results for the airport surface channel. When new radio standards and technologies are introduced for any modern application, one of the first steps involved in this complex process is that of channel characterization. The airport surface area (ASA) is defined as all outdoor area on airport property. This includes runways, taxiways, areas near gates, maintenance areas, and all areas in between. The chapter provides a discussion of fading followed by the relations among the various channel parameters and communication system signaling parameters. It describes results of a measurement campaign for characterizing the ASA channel. Detailed airport surface area channel models, in the form of tapped‐delay lines, are also presented.
