Fading channels arise in wireless communication when multipath propagation and mobility induce fluctuations in signal amplitude and phase. Statistical models capture these variations by describing the ...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems exploit several transmit and receive antennas to combat multipath fading and boost data throughput. Analysis typically models the wireless channel as a ...

Radio propagation characterization is the bread and butter of communications engineers. Without knowledge of radio propagation, a wireless system could never be developed. Radio engineers have to ...

Critical to the quality of communication between a base-station transmitter and a mobile receiver is the signal's propagation channel. As it is transmitted over the air, the signal is subject to ...

We now consider the performance of the digital modulation techniques discussed in the previous chapter when used over AWGN channels and channels with flat fading. There are two performance criteria of ...
