Abstract

This paper evaluates the performance of OFDM-BPSK and -QPSK system in alpha-mu distribution. A fading model which is based on the non-linearity present in the propagation medium is utilized here for generation of alpha-mu variants. Different combinations of alpha and mu provides various fading distributions, one of which is Weibull fading. Here, simulations of OFDM signals are carried with this Weibull faded signal to understand the effect of channel fading.
