Effective Fading Reduction Techniques in Wireless Communication System

Fading is a major impairment when transmitting a signal in wireless communication channel. It is cause by multipath propagation. That is signals from different paths can constructively or destructively interfere with each other. Thus, it becomes very necessary to reduce this effect, to transmit the signal effectively to the receiver. This paper examines fading and it various types. Different techniques being employed to reduce the effect of fading using Diversity, rake receiver and equalization are also discussed.
