MT Rayleigh Selective Fading Profile (Gans)

Version:

Generates a Rayleigh selective-fading profile for the multipath channel. The envelope for each path statistically obeys the Rayleigh distribution implemented using the Gans fading model.

datatype_icon

number of paths

The number of paths in the simulated multipath channel. A fading profile is generated for each of these paths.

Default: 1

datatype_icon

profile length

The number of complex-valued fading profile samples (having Rayleigh-distributed envelopes) to generate.

Default: 1000

datatype_icon

sampling frequency

The system sample rate, in hertz (Hz). This rate is the product of the symbol rate × samples per symbol.

Default: 1

datatype_icon

doppler spread

The desired input Doppler spread f m of the channel, in hertz (Hz).

This parameter denotes the measure of the spectral broadening caused by the time rate of change of the channel. Doppler spread is defined as the range of frequencies over which the received Doppler spectrum is essentially nonzero. When a pure sine tone at frequency f c is transmitted, the received signal spectrum, called the Doppler spectrum, has components in the range (f c - f m ) to (f c + f m ). The Doppler spread is related to the mobile velocity v, carrier frequency f c , and the speed of light c by the relation f m = v f c /c.

Note  

The inverse of the Doppler spread T c = 1 / 16 π f m (known as the coherence time) is the time duration over which the channel impulse response is essentially invariant.

Default: 0.01

datatype_icon

seed in

The initial state for generating the fading profile. If seed in is set to -1, the generated fading profile is randomly chosen during every call when reset? is set to TRUE. Otherwise, the generated fading profile returns the same set of fading coefficients when reset? is set to TRUE.

Default: -1

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs. The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Default: no error

datatype_icon

fading variance

The desired variance of the complex-valued Rayleigh distributed fading profile.

Default: 1

datatype_icon

reset?

A Boolean that determines whether the fading profile generation is reset on subsequent calls to this node.

TRUE Resets the fading profile generation on every call to this node.
FALSE Continues generating the fading profile from the previous iteration on subsequent calls.

Default: TRUE

datatype_icon

fading profile

A two-dimensional array of complex-valued coefficients. The number of rows corresponds to the number of paths in the channel, and the number of columns is equal to the profile length. Wire this parameter to MT Apply Fading Profile to apply this fading profile to a baseband I/Q signal.

datatype_icon

seed out

The internal state of the node at the end of generation of the fading profile for the current iteration. When reset? is set to FALSE, this state is used to continue the fading profile generation at the beginning of the next iteration.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information. The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
