6 results about "Coherence bandwidth" patented technology

Coherence bandwidth is a statistical measurement of the range of frequencies over which the channel can be considered "flat", or in other words the approximate maximum bandwidth or frequency interval over which two frequencies of a signal are likely to experience comparable or correlated amplitude fading. If the multipath time delay spread equals D seconds, then the coherence bandwidth Wc in rad/s is given approximately by the equation: Wc≈2π/( )D Also coherence bandwidth Bc in Hz is given approximately by the equation: Bc≈1/( )D It can be reasonably assumed that the channel is flat if the coherence bandwidth is greater than the data signal bandwidth.
