Flat Fading
Flat Fading is caused by absorbers betweenthe two antennae and is countered by
antenna placement and transmit power level.

Frequency Selective Fading
Frequency selective fading is
caused by reflectors between the
transmitter and receiver creating
multi-path effects.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 6/79
Effects of Frequency
Selective Fading
• The dips or fades in the response due to reflection
cause cancellation of certain frequencies at the
Receiver.
• Reflections off near-by objects (e.g. ground,
buildings, trees, etc) can lead to multi-path
signals of similar signal power to the direct
signal.• This can result in deep nulls in the received
signal power due to destructive interference.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 7/79
When the waves of multi-path signals are
out of phase, reduction of the signal
strength at the receiver can occur.

Other Multi-path Concerns
Apart from creating frequency selective
fading,Multi-path can also cause inter-symbol
interference.

Coherence Bandwidth
Coherence Bandwidth is a statistical measure of
the range of frequencies over which the channelcan be considered flat that is a channel which
passes all spectral components with
approximately equal gain and linear phase. It is the
range of frequencies over which the two frequencycomponents have a strong potential for amplitude
correlation.

Definition: Delay spread (frequency-selective
fading), in which a bit arrives at the receiver at
different times because of the different paths taken,
causing bits to run into each other and thus cause
inter-symbol interference (ISI). This limits theusable digital signaling rate far a given rate. In
other words, if the modulation bandwidth exceeds
the coherence bandwidth of the radio channel Inter
Symbol Interference or ISI occurs. This causessignificant error in high bit rate systems.

Equalization : It is the used for compensatingInter Symbol Interference. An Equalizer within a
receiver compensates for the average range of
expected channel amplitude and delay
characteristics. Equalizers must be adaptive as the
channel is generally unknown and time varying.
Definition Equalization, Diversity & Channel
Coding

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 13/79
Diversity: It is the technique used to compensate for
fading channel impairments. It is implemented by
using two or more receiving antennas. While
Equalization is used to counter the effects of ISI,
Diversity is usually employed to reduce the depthand duration of the fades experienced by a receiver
in a flat fading channel. These techniques can be
employed at both base station and mobile receivers.
Spatial Diversity is the most widely used diversitytechnique.
Diversity

Spatial Diversity Technique- A
Brief Description
In this technique multiple antennas are strategically
spaced and connected to common receiving system.While one antenna sees a signal null, one of the
other antennas may see a signal peak, and the
receiver is able to select the antenna with the best
signal at any time. The CDMA systems use Rakereceivers which provide improvement through time
diversity.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 15/79
• Unlike Equalization, Diversity requires notraining overhead as a transmitter doesn’t
require one.
• It provides significant link improvementwith little added cost.
• It exploits random nature of wave
propagation by finding independent (
uncorrelated) signal paths for
communication.
Diversity Techniques- Highlights
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 16/79
• It is a very simple concept where in one path undergoes a deep fade and another
independent path may have a strong signal.
• As there is more than one path to selectfrom, both the instantaneous and average
SNRs at the receiver may be improved,
often as much as 20-30 dB
Diversity Techniques- Highlights

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 17/79
Channel coding: It is the technique which
improves mobile communication link performance
by adding redundant data bits in the transmittedmessage. In this technique, the base band portion
of the transmitter, a channel coder maps a digital
message sequence into another specific containing
greater number of bits than originally contained in
the message. The coded message is then modulated
for transmission in the wireless channel.
Channel Coding
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 18/79
Channel Coding is used by the receiver to detect
or correct some or all of the errors introduced
by the channel in a particular sequence of
message bits. The added coding bits lower these
the raw data transmission rate through the
channel. There are two types of codes: Block
codes and convolutional codes.

ISI has been recognized as the major obstacle to high
speed data transmission over mobile radio channels.
Equalization is a technique used to combat inter symbol interference. As the mobile fading channels
are random and time varying, equalizers must track
the time varying characteristics of the mobile
channel, and thus are called adaptive equalizers.

Operating modes of adaptive

1) Training mode
2) Tracking Mode
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 21/79
Training Mode
Initially, a known, fixed length training sequence
is sent by the transmitter so that the receiver’s
equalizer may average to a proper setting. Thetraining sequence is a pseudo random signal or a
fixed, prescribed bit pattern. Immediately
following the training sequence, the user data is
sent.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 22/79
Utility of training sequence
The training sequence is designed to permit
an equalizer at the receiver to acquire the
proper filter coefficients in the worst possible
channel conditions. Therefore when the
training sequence is finished. Therefore filter
coefficients are near their optimal values for
reception of user data. An adaptive equalizer
at the receiver uses a recursive algorithm to
evaluate the channel and estimate filter
coefficients to compensate for the channel.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 23/79
Tracking mode
When the data of the users are received, the
adaptive algorithm of the equalizer tracks the
changing channel. As a result of this, theadaptive equalizer continuously changes the
filter characteristics over time. Equalizers are
widely used in TDMA Systems.

• F=900 Mhz, mobile velocity = 80 km/hour
• Symbol rate = 24.3 Kbps
Determine
The maximum doppler shift

7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 25/79
Solution Example 7.3The max doppler shift = velocity/wavelength
Wavelength = 3*10^8/900*10^6 = 0.33 metersDoppler shift = 80 *1000/36000/0.33 = 66.67 Hz
Coherence time (using the geometric mean)
= 3/(4* doppler shift) *sqrt (1/Pi) = 6.3 4millisecs
Symbols transmitted without updating the equalizer =
6.34*24.3*1000 = 154 symbols

DIVERSITY
A diversity scheme is a method that is used to develop
information from several signals transmitted over
independent fading paths.
It exploits the random nature of radio propagation by
finding independent (uncorrelated) signal paths for
communication.

MACROSCOPIC DIVERSITY
• Prevents Large Scale fading.
• Large Scale fading is caused by
shadowing due to variation in boththe terrain profile and the nature of the surroundings.
Large Scale fading is log normallydistributed signal.
• This fading is prevented byselecting an antenna which is notshadowed when others are, thisallows increase in the signal-to-noise ratio.
MICROSCOPIC DIVERSITY
• Prevents Small Scale fading.
• Small Scale fading is caused by
multiple reflections from thesurroundings. It is characterizedby deep and rapid amplitudefluctuations which occur as themobile moves over distances of afew wavelength.
• This fading is prevented byselecting an antenna which givesa strong signal that mitigates thissmall signal fading effect.

Conclusion
• Selection diversity offers an average improvement in thelink margin without requiring additional transmitter power or sophisticated receiver circuitry.
• Selection diversity is easy to implement because all that
is needed is a side monitoring station and an antennaswitch at the receiver.
• However it is not an optimal diversity technique becauseit does not use all of the possible branchessimultaneously.
• In practice the SNR is measured as (S+N)/N , since it isdifficult to measure SNR.

• In certain cases it is not convenient to provide for thevariable weighting capability.
• This allows the receiver to exploit signals that are
simultaneously received on each branch.
• The probability of producing an acceptable signal from a
number of unacceptable inputs is still retained.
• The performance is marginally inferior to maximal ratiocombining and superior to selection Diversity.

Polarization Diversity
Effective Diversity is obtained with a Correlation
Coefficient below 0.7
In order to keep the correlation at this level
• space diversity at a base station requires antenna
spacing of up to 20 wavelengths for the broadside
case, and even more for the inline case.
• Polarization diversity at a base station does not
require antenna spacing.

Polarization Diversity(cont’d)
– At the base station, space diversity is considerablyless practical than at the mobile because thenarrow angle of incident fields requires largeantenna spacing.
– The comparatively high cost of using spacediversity at the base station prompts theconsideration of using orthogonal polarization.
– Polarization diversity provides two diversitybranches and allows the antenna elements to beconsidered.

Polarization Diversity
In the early days of cellular radio, all subscriber units were
mounted in vehicles or used vertical whip antennas. Today,
however, over half of the subscriber units are portable. This
means that most subscribers are no longer using vertical
polarization due to hand-tilting when the portable cellular phone
is used. This recent phenomenon has sparkled interest inpolarization diversity at the base station.

Theoretical Model for Polarization Diversity
Assuming that a signal is transmitted from a mobile stationwith vertical( or horizontal) polarization, and is received by apolarization diversity antenna with two branches at the basestation.
The measured horizontal and vertical polarization paths
between a mobile and a base station are uncorrelated.The decorrelation for the signal in each polarization is caused bymultiple reflections in the channel between the mobile and basestation antenna.
This results in signals of different amplitudes and phasereflections.
In reality there is some dependence of the received polarizationon the transmitted polarization.

Because r 1 and r 2 follow Rayleigh distribution
Let then ρ will be
Where Г is the cross polarization discrimination of the propagation path betweena mobile and a base station.

Frequency Diversity
Principle :
The same information signal is
transmitted and received simultaneously on two
or more independent fading carrier frequencies.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 73/79
Frequency Diversity
– The rational behind this technique is thatfrequencies separated by more than thecoherence bandwidth of the channel will notexperience the same fade.
– The probability of simultaneous fade will be theproduct of the individual fading probabilities.
– This is often employed in microwave LOS linkswhich carry several channels in a frequencydivision multiplex mode(FDM).
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 74/79
Frequency Diversity
– This technique not only requires spare bandwidth, butalso requires that there be as many receivers as there
are channels used for the frequency diversity.
However, for critical traffic, the expense may be
justified.

Time Diversity
Principle :
The signals representing the
same information are sent over the same
channel at different times.
7/30/2019 EA-452 Chapter 7
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ea-452-chapter-7 76/79
Time Diversity
– Time Diversity repeatedly transmits
information at time spacing that exceeds the
coherence time of the channel.
– Multiple repetitions of the signal will be
received with multiple fading conditions,thereby providing for diversity.
– A modern implementation of time diversity
involves the use of RAKE receiver for spread
spectrum CDMA, where multipath channelprovides redundancy in the transmitted
message.
