Digital Communication Over Rayleigh Fading Channels

T. M. Parks
15 December 1992

Abstract The properties of Rayleigh fading channels are derived and their effects on various QAM signal constellations are explored. A simplified channel model for an urban radio environment is justified in order to simplify the analysis of error performance for the constellations. Finally, arguments are made for extending the results to more general channel models.
