Abstract :
This article focuses on the statistics of the RMS delay spread in an area illuminated by two signal sources, transmitting identical data on the same frequency. The considered channel consists of two delta impulses, separated by a differential propagation delay, each of them subjected to Nakagami or log normal fading. Analytical expressions for the PDF, mean value and standard deviation of the delay spread are presented, and the effects of each type of fading are compared
