Abstract
Fade depth prediction for airborne communication links is considered in this paper. There is no fading model for this specific scenario at the moment. The two closest models are the Olsen-Segal model for terrestrial links and the ITU-R model for satellite links. However, they cannot be directly applied to the airborne scenario. We propose a two-ray multipath fading model adapted to a realistic scenario of hilly or mountainous terrain, which applies to elevations angles higher than 2/spl deg/ and frequencies lower than 10 GHz, when the contribution of ground multipath component is dominant. It is interesting to note that the two-ray model predicts roughly the same fade depth dependence on the path clearance angle as the Olsen-Segal model, which may be considered as a theoretical justification, as to the best of our knowledge- for the first time, of the path elevation angle factor in that model. We further propose a hybrid approach to account for the atmospheric contribution to the total fade depth.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
