This chapter presents a novel theoretical framework for relating the small-scale fading characteristics of a wireless channel to multipath angle-of-arrival. A method is presented for reducing a multipath channel with arbitrary spatial complexity to three shape factors that have simple, intuitive geometrical interpretations. Furthermore, these shape factors are shown to describe the statistics of received signal fluctuations in a fading multipath channel. Examples demonstrate how the shape factors may be applied to real-life problems in channel measurement, level-crossing rate and average fade duration calculations, and coherence distance estimation.read more

Investigating received signal characteristics upon on-axis rotation of an embedded antenna in a mobile device
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the characterization of wireless signals received by a mobile device undergoing on-axis rotation in a non-line of sight indoor environment, where the rotational motion of the mobile device corresponds directly to the pitch or roll of the embedded antenna, which is incorporated into the simulation model by varying the polarization sensitivity.

Layered space-time architecture for wireless communication in a fading environment when using multi-element antennas
TL;DR: This paper addresses digital communication in a Rayleigh fading environment when the channel characteristic is unknown at the transmitter but is known (tracked) at the receiver with the aim of leveraging the already highly developed 1-D codec technology.

A power-spectral theory of propagation in the mobile-radio environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the power spectrum of the transmission coefficient in the multipath medium is used to determine probability distributions of amplitude and phase, correlations of fields versus time and space at mobile and base stations, level-crossing rates and durations of fades, and random frequency modulation.

Theory of multipath shape factors for small-scale fading wireless channels
TL;DR: A new theory of multipath shape factors that greatly simplifies the description of small-scale fading statistics of a wireless receiver is presented and these shape factors are shown to describe the statistics of received signal fluctuations in a fading multipath channel.
