Abstract
Statistical analysis and modeling of wireless channels is essential to wireless communication systems. Clark's model [1] and the corresponding statistical analysis of mobile radio reception has been widely accepted in numerous wireless applications. Since the component phases in Clarke's model are assumed to be constant in time, the well-known results of statistical analysis based on this model, such as the autocorrelation and Doppler power spectrum, are not appropriate to describe real wireless channels for which the random environments (radio propagation paths) are time-varying and accordingly for which the channel is non-constant in the absence of Doppler frequency shift. In this paper, we extend the traditional Clarke's model incorporating the effect of fluctuations in the component phases, and perform the statistical analysis which results in a closed-form expression of the autocorrelation of the fading. The theoretical power spectral density function, which is the Fourier transform of the resultant autocorrelation of the fading, is shown to fit the practical measured spectra, which is in contrast to the traditional theoretical flat fading channel spectra (Jake's spectrum in [2]). The proposed model and statistical results should have important implications for detailed spectral analysis and channel simulations for real wireless communications systems in random fluctuating electromagnetic propagation environments.
