This lecture
discusses the estimation of frequency correlation on fading radio
channels from time series of channel impulse response estimates
derived from propagation measurements. The practical application
for knowledge of frequency correlation is explained.
Then, a text book derivation of the equation
relating the channel's average power delay profile to its frequency
correlation function is reviewed, with emphasis on explaining the
minimum conditions needed for validity of the relationship. An
alternative method, free from these conditions is also explained.
Finally, examples are given, which apply the two methods to
estimate frequency correlation on Rayleigh and Rician fading
channels from data measured with a pseudo noise measurement system.
Differences in results for the two channel types are highlighted
and explained. An adjustment, reported by others, which is needed
to correct results in order to compensate for the non-uniform shape
of the measurement system transfer function is also
demonstrated.
