The model is defined in the baseband equivalent, discrete-time domain and can therefore be represented as multiple tapped-delay lines (one per diversity branch). It is based on the wide-sense stationary, uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) assumption and includes not only the radio channel itself but also the transmitting and receiving fixed filters. Each tap coefficient corresponds to a complex gaussian variate which is correlated with other taps at different branches and different delays. The ensemble of tap coefficients constitutes a complex multivariate gaussian process whose statistics can be entirely defined with an analytically-derived lag-delay correlation function (where the term lag denotes spatial separation between two elements).","PeriodicalId":334204,"journal":{"name":"1998 Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131904545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
