Coherence Bandwidth Coherence bandwidth B c is a range o requencies over which the channel can be considered lat passes all spectral components with approximately equal gain and liner phase Bandwidth where the correlation unction R T () or signal envelopes is high, or in other words the approximate maximum bandwidth over which two requencies o a signal are liely to experience correlated amplitude ading. Thereore two sinusoidal signals with requencies that are arther apart than the coherence bandwidth will ade independently. Coherence Bandwidth I R T () is approximately 90% 1 B C 50 I R T () is approximately 50% B C 5 An exact relationship between coherence bandwidth & delay spread does not exist 1 R T () correlation between responses at dierent requencies. Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 18

Need o Equalization I a transmitted signal s bandwidth is greater than the 50% coherence bandwidth, then the channel is requency selective An equalizer (adaptive tapped delay ilter) will be needed in the receiver Flat-ading channels do not require equalization Doppler Shit c broadening rom c to ( c + m ) d c v c v v BS1 Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 19

Coherence Time Coherence Time is the time domain dual o Doppler spread Doppler spread and coherence time are inversely proportional T C = 1/ m Statistical measure o the time duration over which the channel impulse response is invariant Coherence Time I the coherence time is deined as the time over which the correlation unction is above 0.5, then T C 9 16 m Rule o thumb or modern digital communication deines TC as the geometric mean o two expressions or TC or dierent correlation unctions T C 9 16 m Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 1

Channel variations slower then base-band signal variations Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 3

Frequency Flat Fading I the mobile radio channel has a constant gain and linear phase over a bandwidth greater than the bandwidth o the transmitted signal - the received signal will undergo lat ading Please, observe that the ading is lat (or requency selective) depending on the signal bandwidth relative to the channel coherence bandwidth. Frequency Selective Fading I the mobile radio channel has a constant gain and linear phase over a coherence bandwidth, smaller than the bandwidth o the transmitted signal - the received signal will undergo requency selective ading Again, the signal bandwidth is wider then the channel coherence bandwidth, causing one or more areas o attenuation o the signal within the signal bandwidth Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 4

Time Fast Fading The channel impulse response changes rapidly within the symbol duration - coherence time < symbol period T S > T c and B S < B D Channel speciies as a ast or slow ading channel does not speciy whether the channel is lat ading or requency selective ading Time Slow Fading The channel impulse response changes at a rate much slower than the transmitted base-band signal. Doppler spread is much less than the bandwidth o the base-band signal T S << T c and B S >> B D Velocity o the MS and the base-band signaling determines whether a signal undergoes ast or slow ading Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 6

Fading in Brie What is the correlation between received signals that are spaced in requency Δ=1-?? How can be measured? 1) Transmitting a pair o sinusoids separated in requencies by Δ ) Cross correlating the complex spectra o the two separately received signals 3) Repeat the process by increasing the separation Δ. Coherence bandwidth represents a requency range over which a signal's requency components have a strong potential or amplitude correlation. Fading in Brie What is the correlation between received signals sent at dierent time, with dierence Δt=t1-t?? How can be measured? 1) Transmitting a sinusoid at time t1 and send the signal again at time t, Δt=t-t1 ) Cross correlating the channel responses o the two signals received at dierent times 3) Repeat the process by increasing the dierence Δt. Coherence time is a measure o the expected time duration over which the channel's response is essentially invariant. Junaid Nawaz, CIIT Islamabad. 3
