Abstract: In the paper, it makes analysis the characteristics of UAV communication channel in the tree-dimensional space. The UAV small scale model base on multipath propagation is analyzed, the fundamental conditions, extended function of azimuth angle and extended function of pitch angle are researched, which are satisfied with WSS (Wide-Sense Stationary) model. The three-dimensional system of coordinate is established, the parameter of channel is set, the line-of-sight component, reflecting component and scattering multipath component and the function related with time are analyzed and calculated, finally, three-dimensional model of UAV communication channel is established and related simulation is done to testify its validity.
