Power Delay Profile

Power delay profile gives the signal power received on each multipath as a function of the propagation delays of the respective multipaths. Power delay profile (PDP) A multipath channel can be characterized in multiple ways for deterministic modeling and power delay profile (PDP) is one such measure. In a typical PDP plot, the signal power … Read more

Multipath channel models: scattering function

Understand various characteristics of a wireless channel through multipath channel models. Discuss Wide Sense Stationary channel, uncorrelated scattering channel, wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering channel models and scattering function. Introduction Wireless channel is of time-varying nature in which the parameters randomly change with respect to time. Wireless channel is very harsh when compared to AWGN … Read more

Wireless channel models – an Introduction

The medium between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna is generally termed as “channel”. In wireless transmission, the characteristics of the signal changes as it travels from the transmitter to the receiver. The signal characteristics are due to several phenomena: 1) existence of line of sight path between the antennas, 2) reflection, refraction and … Read more
