Abstract
Fade depth prediction on airborne line-of-sight communication links is considered. There is no specific model for this scenario at the moment. The two ray multipath model, adapted to a realistic scenario of hilly or mountainous terrain, was used to account for flight and terrain geometry and for antenna parameters. Surprisingly, it was found that (i) in many practically important cases the fade depth depends on the path clearance angle only and (ii) the two-ray model predicts roughly the same fade depth dependence on the path clearance angle as the well-known Olsen-Segal model. This may be considered as a theoretical justification, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, of the path elevation angle factor in that model.

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
