Light Fading (® ¥)

Very strong dominant component

Rician PDF ® Gaussian PDF ® d

 

 

Severe Fading: Rayleigh Fading

Direct line-of-sight component is small (C ® 0, ® 0).

The variances of z and x are equal to local-mean power

 

PDF of amplitude r is Rayleigh

 

The instantaneous power p (p  =  1/2r =  1/2z1/2x2) is exponential
