Abstract :
This paper addresses the implementation of a powerful wide-band mobile channel simulator, which is based on two state-of-the-art 32-bit floating point DSP processors. A key feature of this simulator is the ability to be reconfigured through a common serial interface and virtually simulate a wide variety of different channel models. Additionally, this simulator can be useful to the study of space diversity for it can be arranged to provide two groups of Rayleigh fading signals whose correlation coefficient can be adjusted between zero and one
