Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If only simple comparison of theoretical value with simulation value is used for verification, then the verification process is simple, but the verification accuracy and scientific rigor are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The verification process is segmented into multiple independent modules: time domain characteristic verification, frequency domain characteristic verification, and statistical distribution verification. Each module focuses on specific parameters (amplitude fluctuation, Doppler spectrum, probability density function) and can be executed independently, allowing comprehensive verification without overwhelming system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary configuration of verification parameters (sampling frequency, FFT size, significance level) before actual verification. Theoretical reference values are pre-calculated and stored, enabling direct comparison with simulation results during verification without complex real-time computations
2Reliability
If comprehensive verification of time domain and frequency domain characteristics is performed, then the verification thoroughness is improved, but the testing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The verification process uses periodic sampling of the fading channel signal at fixed intervals, rather than continuous analysis. This allows capturing essential time domain characteristics (amplitude fluctuation range, fading rate) while limiting the total verification time. The sampling frequency is carefully selected to satisfy Nyquist criterion for the maximum Doppler frequency
Solution Approach 2:
The system verifies key characteristics that are sufficient to validate the Nakagami fading model without exhaustively analyzing every possible parameter. Focus is placed on critical parameters (probability density function fit, Doppler spectrum shape, time domain envelope) that provide adequate verification reliability with reduced testing time

AI summary
A system for testing a Nakagami fading channel and a verification method thereof are provided. The testing system includes a signal generator, a Nakagami fading channel simulator, and a computer. The signal generator is used to output a sine wave signal whose frequency is f and transmit the sine wave signal to the Nakagami fading channel simulator and the computer. The Nakagami fading channel simulator is used to generate a Nakagami fading channel. The computer is used to perform data processing and analysis. In the verification method, time domain fading characteristics, first-order statistics characteristics, and second-order statistics characteristics of the Nakagami fading channel are respectively verified. Verifying the time domain fading characteristics is verifying a waveform fluctuation rate and a fluctuation range on a time domain under different Nakagami fading factors. Verifying the first-order statistics characteristics is mainly verifying amplitude and phase distribution statistics characteristics of the Nakagami fading channel by means of Kolmogorov Smirnov (KS) hypothesis test. Verifying the second-order statistics characteristics is mainly verifying the shape and bandwidth of a power spectrum density function. In the present invention, verification on performance of the Nakagami fading channel simulator or a simulation model has features of accuracy and feasibility.
