The Wireless channel ( 2 main effects)

The multi-path Fading phenomenon

( Time Dispersion)

Multipath propagation occurs when RF signals

take different paths from a source to a
destination, part of the signal encounters delay
and travels a longer path to the destination.
the combination of the original signal plus the
duplicate wave fronts that result from reflection of
the waves off obstacles between the transmitter
and the receiver.

Doppler Shift ( Frequency Dispersion)

If channel changes with time, the output frequencies will no longer match the input
frequencies, because of Doppler shift. This is normally not a problem in cables, but
routinely shows up in radio channels
