Examples Fading

The document provides two examples on fading channels. Example 1 calculates metrics like mean excess delay, rms delay spread, and coherence bandwidth for a given multipath profile. It determines if AMPS, GSM, and IS-95 signals would experience flat or frequency selective fading. Example 2 calculates the coherence time of a channel for a vehicle traveling at 50m/s using a 1900MHz carrier, and finds the number of fades within a 20ms IS-95 frame.

Examples on Fading Channels

Example 1

• Calculate the mean excess delay, rms delay spread, and the
maximum excess delay (10 dB) for the multipath profile given
in the figure below.
• Estimate the 50% coherence bandwidth of the channel.
• Given that signal bandwidths of AMPS, GSM and IS-95 are 30
kHz, 200 kHz and 1.25 MHz respectively, determine if a signal
under those systems will experience frequency selective or flat
fading.

Example 1: Solution

• The mean excess delay for the given profile


(1)(5) + (0.1)(1) + (0.1)(2) + (0.01)(0)
τ̄ = = 4.38 µs
0.01 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 1
• The second moment for the given power delay profile is
calculated as

¯ (1)(5)2 + (0.1)(1)2 + (0.1)(2)2 + (0.01)(0)


2
τ = = 21.07 µs2
0.01 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 1
Therefore, the rms delay spread,

στ = 21.07 − (4.38)2 = 1.37 µs

Example 1: Solution (continued)

• The coherence bandwidth is obtained as


1 1
Bc ≈ = = 146 kHz
5στ 5(1.37 µs)

• Since Bc > BsAMPS = 30 kHz an AMPS signal will experience


flat fading.
• Since Bc < BsGSM = 200 kHz and Bc < BsIS-95 = 1.25 MHz, both
GSM and IS-95 signals will experience frequency selective
fading.

Example 2

• For a vehicle travelling 50 m/s using a 1900 MHz carrier, find


the coherence time of the channel. Use the popular rule of
thum to define the coherence time.
• Given the duration of an IS-95 frame is 20 ms, determine the
number of fades (number of times the channel will vary) within
a frame.

Example 2: Solution

• The popular rule of thumb to define coherence time TC is


0.423
TC =
fm
where fm is the maximum Doppler shift given by
v vfc (50)(1900)(106 )
fm = = = 8
= 316.7 Hz
λ c (3)(10 )

0.423
• Therefore TC = = 1.336 ms.
316.7

Example 2: Solution (continued)

• The number of fades in an IS-95 frame is
