Objectives of the Chapter
In cellular system, calls are occasionally disconnected
Possible cause: Rapid fluctuation of radio signal amplitudeover short time period or travel distance
Reasons for wireless channels to become selective and dispersive both
in frequency and timeSources of signal fluctuation: multipath propagation and mobility
To understand physical parameters such as carrier frequency,
mobile speed, bandwidth, delay spread impact how a wireless channel
behaves from the communication system point of view.

"ntroduction to #ireless Channels
%lectromagnetic waves can transmit through&
' guided medium or
'n unguided medium.
(uided mediums such as coa$ial and fiber optic cables are
far less hostile for the information carrying %M" than the
wireless or unguided medium.
It presents limited challenges and problems which are uniquefor this )ind of transmission.

"hen %M" travels through the wireless channel, it undergoes
many )inds of propagation effects such as reflection% diffraction
and scattering due to the presence of buildings, mountains and otherobstructions.
Reflection: *ccurs when the %M" impinge on ob+ects which has very
large dimension as compared to the wavelength of the wave.
&iffraction: *ccurs when the wave interacts with a surface having
sharp irregularities.
Scattering: *ccurs when the %M" passes through ob+ects whichhas
very small dimension as compared to the wavelength of the wave

Over very short travel distances *a fe+ +avelengths,or
Over very short time durations *in order of seconds,
The received power may vary by -.(/. d0 when the receiver
is moved by fraction of a wavelength.

Major 1ffects of Fading :
1nvelope Fading: Rapid change in signal strength over
small travel distances or short time periods.
Time &ispersion: Multiple signals arriving a different times
when added together at the antenna, signals are spread out in
time. This can cause a smearing of the signal and
interference between bits that are received.
Fre uency &ispersion : hanges in the frequency of signals.
Random frequency modulation due to varying &oppler shifts
on different multipath signals• This #oppler shift is caused by the mobility of mobile
which cause an apparent shift in frequency

with different amplitude and time delays.

-' The band+idth of the signal: causes frequency selectivity.
The channel bandwidth can be quantified by the term
coherence band+idth*0 c,
< 8 c measures the ma-imum frequency difference in which
signals are strongly correlated in amplitude
If 8" of the signal is greater than 8 c, the received signal will be
distorted *filtered, in frequency
If the transmitted signal has a narro+ band+idth as comparedto the channel, signal will not be distorted in frequency

ence, when transmitter and5or receiver is moving, the
frequency of the received signal will not be the same as that of
the transmitted signal
"hen they are moving towards each other, the frequency of
the received signal is higher than the source.

3' The Coherence Time* Tc,: #elay spread and coherence bandwidth
are parameters which describe the time dispersive nature of the
wireless channel.8ut, they do not give information about the time varying nature of
the channel caused by relative motion between the mobile and base
station.
#oppler spread and coherence time are parameters which describe the
time varying nature of the channel.
&oppler spread f & is a measure of the spectral e$pansion caused by
the time rate of change of the mobile radio channel.
The range of frequencies over which the received &oppler spectrum
is essentially nonzero.

Coherence time*T c, is the time domain dual of #opplerspread
It is used to characterize the time varying nature of thefre uency dispersiveness of the channel in time domain.
oherence time is the time duration over which two
received signals have strong amplitude correlation.
The coherence time is related with the #oppler spread by
If symbol period *T s, of the baseband signal is greater than
the coherence time of the channel, then the channel will
change during transmission, thus causing distortion at the24

Fre uency Selective Fading : alters the signal waveform
and therefore the detection performance.
Channel e uali)ation is utilized to compensate the effect.
Multi(carrier Systems & transferring a broadband signal
into parallel narrowband streams
Time Selective Fading: smears the signal spectrum and
introduces variation too fast for power control.
Coding% time interleaving and diversity techniques are mosteffective means of coping with time selective fading.
