Simulation of flat fading using MATLAB for classroom instruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approach to demonstrate flat fading in communication systems is presented here, wherein the basic concepts are reinforced by means of a series of MATLAB simulations. Following a brief introduction to fading in general, models for flat fading are developed and simulated using MATLAB. The concept of outage is also demonstrated using MATLAB. We suggest that the use of MATLAB exercises will assist the students in gaining a better understanding of the various nuances of flat fading. * This work was supported, in part, by the Gateway Engineering Education Coalition under NSF Grant # EEC 9727413.
