A description of the physical mechanism causing multipath propagation in built-up areas is followed by a discussion of the various ways in which fading radio communiction channels can be described. It is shown that characterisation in the time-delay/Doppler-shift domain explicitly illustrates the multipath nature of the channel and provides parameters relevant to system design. A brief discussion of channelsounding techniques is followed by a description of a wideband channel sounder using matched-filter signal processing in the receiver.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
