Detection, Tracking, and Interdiction for Amateur Drones (2018, background): “For LOS channels with no clutter very near the ground receiver, quasi-deterministic “tworay” models have been shown to be fairly accurate [3], with measured standard deviations from the log-distance linear fit less than 3 dB.”
