Analysis of a modified Suzuki fading channel model

Suzuki processes can be considered to be models for the random fluctuations of the envelope of the received signal in land-mobile radio systems. The Suzuki processes are obtained by combining stationary normal random processes assumed to be statistically independent. Often the assumption of statistical independence does not meet the real conditions in multipath wave propagation. Therefore, modified Suzuki processes with cross-correlation between the normal processes of the Rayleigh part have been introduced. In this study modified Suzuki processes have been investigated by computer simulation. In particular, the distribution of the fading time-intervals of the modified Suzuki processes has been analyzed. Typical results are presented in normalized form.<<ETX>>
