  • Abstract
    This paper presents measured fade duration and levelcrossing statistics of a hardware-simulated mobile radio channel. These measurements were taken over a wide range of fade depths. The measurements agree well with existing analytical results and extend them to show the distribution of fade durations for shallow fades. Fine detail in the fade-duration distributions for shallow fades is produced by peaks in the fading spectrum.
