Measuring PDPs
Power Delay Profiles
Are measured by channel
sounding techniques
Plots of relative received power as
a function of excess delay
They are found by averaging
intantenous power delay
measurements over a local area
Local area: no greater than 6m outdoor
Local area: no greater than 2m indoor
Samples taken at /4 meters approximately
For 450MHz – 6 GHz frequency range.

Vertical Dipole
A vertical dipole is omni-directional in horizontal plane
G(θ) = 1.5
We assume
• Uniform angle of arrival of reflections
• No dominant wave

Coherence bandwidth
Definition: Coherence. Bandwidth is the frequency separation for which the
correlation coefficient is down from 1 to 0.5 Thus 1 = 2(f1 - f2) TRMS
so Coherence Bandwidth BW = 1 (2 TRMS)
We derived this for an exponential delay profile
Conclusion:
Either keep transmission bandwidth much smaller than the coherence
bandwidth of the channel, or
use signal processing to overcome ISI, e.g.
Equalization
DS-CDMA with rake
OFDM
