Modelling and Simulation of Direction-Selective and Frequency-Selective Mobile Radio Channels

This paper presents a new approach to the design of simulation models for spatio-temporal mobile radio channels, which are important for the design, optimization, and test of antenna array based mobile communication systems. The proposed spatio-temporally correlated simulation model is completely deterministic and enables the emulation of the desired fading behaviour with comparably little effort. Moreover, it can be configured flexibly to simulate not only different kinds of theoretical channels with given spatial, temporal, and frequency correlation properties, but also real-world fading channels for mobile communication systems with adaptive antennas.
