A simulation model for space-time-frequency variant fading channels

Abstract

We apply the Monte-Carlo simulation model to a frequency selective fading channel including space-variance. This model is suited to simulate the performance of a multi-antenna system for a moving receiver (or transmitter). It takes into account that the time-variance of the channel due to this motion has its origin in the space-variance. We emphasize that for such a channel, time and frequency correlations cannot be separated.
