Prof. Nararat Ruangchaijatupon Electrical Engineering Khon Kaen University Office: EN04325A, Email: nararat@kku.ac.th Small-Scale Fading • Or only “Fading” • Fluctuation of amplitude, phase, multipath delay over a short period of time • Caused by interference between 2 or more versions of transmitted signal arrived at slightly different time – Movement of mobile terminal or surround objects – Speed/Direction of movement respect to BS 2
Effects of Multipath 1. Rapid changes in signal strength over a small travel distance or time interval 2. Random frequency modulation due to Doppler shifts on different multipaths 3. Time dispersion (echoes) caused by multipath propagation delays • Variation depends on signal intensity, relative propagation time, bandwidth of the transmitted signal 3 Factors on Small-Scale Fading • Multipath propagation – Cause fading, distortion, ISI • Speed of mobile – Speed/direction Doppler shift • Speed of surrounding objects – If speed of surrounding objects is higher than speed of mobile terminal Doppler shift • Transmission bandwidth of signal 4
Doppler Shift • The shift in received signal frequency due to motion is called the Doppler shift Source: T. Rappaport, Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice 5 Doppler Shift (cont.)

Doppler Shift - Example Consider a transmitter which radiates a sinusoidal carrier frequency of 1850 MHz. For a vehicle moving 60 mph, compute the received carrier frequency if the mobile is moving (a) directly toward the transmitter, (b) directly away from the transmitter, and (c) in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of the transmitted signal. Solution Given: Carrier frequency fc= 1850 MHz 8 c 3 10 Therefore, wavelength m . 0 162 6 cf 1850 10 Vehicle speed v = 60 mph = 26.82 m/s 7 Doppler Shift – Example (cont.)

The Doppler shift in this case is positive. 26.82 0.162 6 f f f MHz 1850 10 1850.00016 c d (b) The vehicle is moving directly away from the transmitter. The Doppler shift in this case is negative. 26.82 1850 10 0.162 6 f f f MHz 1849.999834 c d (c) The vehicle is moving perpendicular to the angle of arrival of the transmitted signal. In this case, and there is no Doppler shift. The received signal frequency is the same as the transmitted frequency of 1850 Mhz. 90 ,cos 0, 8
Parameters of Mobile Multipath Channels • Power delay profile • Time dispersion parameters – Mean excess delay – rms delay spread – Maximum excess delay or excess delay spread – Coherence bandwidth • Doppler spread – Coherence time 9 Power Delay Profile Plot of relative power as a function of excess delay with respect to a fixed time delay reference From 900 MHz cellular system in San Francisco 10 Source: T.

Maximum Excess Delay • Time delay during which multipath energy falls to X dB below the maximum Depends on Noise Threshold Example of an indoor power delay profile 17 Source: T. Rappaport, Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice Coherence Bandwidth (1) • A statistical measure of the range of frequencies over which the channel can be considered “flat”, i.e., a channel which passes all spectral components with approximately equal gain and linear phase • Derive from rms delay spread • 2 sinusoids with frequency separation greater than Bcare affected differently by the channel 18
Coherence Bandwidth (2) • If transmission bandwidth of signal is greater than coherence bandwidth of the channel, the signal will be distorted • If less than coherence BW, the amplitude will change rapidly, but will not be distorted in time and fading can be ignored • Coherence BW is a measurement of the maximum frequency difference for which signals are still strongly correlated in amplitude 19 Coherence Bandwidth (3) • If the frequency correlation function is above 0.9 1 c B 50 • If the frequency correlation function is above 0.5 c B 1 5 20

Doppler Spread • Doppler spread (BD) is the measure of spectral broadening caused by the time rate of change of the mobile radio channel • The range of frequencies which the received Doppler spectrum is non-zero • Doppler spectrum: to • If the transmitted signal bandwidth is much greater than BD, the effects of Doppler spread are negligible at the receiver f f f f c d c d 23 Coherence Time • Coherence time (Tc) is the time domain dual of Doppler spread • A statistical measure of the time duration over which the channel impulse response is invariant, quantifies the similarity of the channel response at different time • Used to characterize the time varying nature of the frequency dispersiveness 1 f T c m 24

How many samples will be required over 10 m travel distance if fc= 1900 MHz and v = 50 m/s. How long would it take to make these measurements, assuming they could be made in real time from a moving vehicle? What is the Doppler spread for the channel?
