Abstract

Tropospheric scattering channel is a random channel. When the signal transmitted through the troposphere, the multi-path fading could cause signal waveform distortion. In this paper, based on a valid tropospheric scattering channel model, respectively, from the time domain and frequency domain the reasons why the signal waveform was distortion were analyzed. Radar pulse as the transmit signal, and simulate the received signal waveform in different antenna beam width angle. The results show that the signal waveform is impacted in different degrees at the different antenna beam width angle.
