SoftwareX, 25, 101628. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2023.1012352-711010.1016/j.softx.2023.101628https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/47215The UAVRadio Python module is a comprehensive toolkit designed to facilitate the analysis and prediction of radio signal path loss in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communication scenarios. The module encompasses a range of path loss models referenced from established literature, offering users a powerful and flexible framework for estimating signal attenuation in different UAV communication links. It is a versatile and modular tool that enables simple integration for optimizing UAV communication systems and ensuring reliable wireless connectivity in a variety of operational scenarios. The utility of this package is demonstrated through two relevant examples: an experimentally fit model comparison with other implemented models, and a UAV digital twin implementation example comparing different available models and frequencies. The examples are provided in the code repository along with comprehensive documentation.application/pdfeng© 2023 The Author(s).
