Computer random simulation on multipath fading

Abstract

A method is presented in which a computer is used to randomly simulate the statistical distributions of frequency selective fading. Relationships between the in-band frequency correlation coefficient and antenna height, the ground reflection coefficient, and the frequency bandwidth are randomly simulated. Using this method, frequency selective fading was randomly simulated over the Pacem 2 experimental path (a distance of 100 km, operating in the 11.123 GHz to 11.187 GHz range) from Bouffry to Viabon for the total fading period of 1985.<>
