Abstract :
Experimental results have indicated that the Nakagami (1960) m-distribution with the fading parameter m in the range 0.5<m<1 can be used to model the fading characteristic of a HF channel when its fading is more severe than Rayleigh fading. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for simulating a HF channel that is characterized by m-fading, m<1. The procedure for implementation is given. Numerical results demonstrate that statistical properties of the samples generated from the proposed model are close to the required ones
