Abstract

This letter analyzes the statistical properties of the root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread in a two-path distributed antenna system, where the received signal power from each path is subject to composite gamma fading and lognormal shadowing. The channel power delay profile considered consists of two delta functions with correlated power levels. We present analytical expressions for the probability density function of the RMS delay spread, as well as the cumulative distribution function, mean value and standard deviation. These analyses are validated through comparison with Monte-Carlo simulation results.
