Characteristics of the Signal
Multipath Fading Dominates the Mobile Radio Channel
– Fade rate is a function of the doppler frequency, V/λλ
λλ
– E.g., for 860 MHz at 60 mph, fade rate is roughly 75 Hz
– Amplitude is assumed to be Rayleigh-distributed
– Channel can be time-dispersive due to delay spread
Radio Specifications are Typically for Mean Signal
– Ideally, corresponds to a particular delivered audio quality (DAQ)
– Additional margin is needed to operate in fading
– Delay spread performance often poorly addressed or ignored
E.g., Typical P25 Phase I Radio (C4FM):
– 12.5 kHz channel
– Static sensitivity = -118 dBm (5% BER)
– Fading sensitivity = -105 dB
m (DAQ = 3.4)
