I am working on spatial channel modeling. My problem is that I generated a channel matrix per tap (=path) : H_tap of dimension [Tx, Rx], where Tx and Rx is the number of Tx and Rx antennas respectively. For a system level simulation I have to calculate the simulated OFDM channel H with dimension [Tx Rx NoCarrier] (without taps). I did the following: I put all complex pathgains into a vector Hn and calculated: H = fft(Hn, noCarrier). Is this correct? The problem I have is that the H_tap have different path delays; i.e. the path delays are not equidistant. Do I have to account for that? What is the impact of the sampling frequency? I read that I have to interpolate the values. This is not clear for me. What happens if 2 or more paths fall into the same sampled tap? Do I have to add up the corresponding channel coefficients? What about unused sampled taps? Should I put a zero in it?
Question about DFT math « Result #3 on Dec 24, 2009, 8:30pm »
Hello to everyone.
My question is this: When I compute the inverse DFT, I get the complex coefficients Ck. How to derive the real cos/sin coefficients Ak and Bk from them in order to construct an approximation of the original time-domain signal ? How does it happen that the imaginary unit "i" disappears ? What are the conditions and necessary steps to perform computations in such a way that the imaginary "i" doesn't spoil the computation and remains neutral ?

I like the website and the tutorials. My back ground is communication but have not work in this field after graduated. Now, I think that I will change my job to communication field.
Let go to Loral website and apply for the job!
Does any body know other communication company beside Loral in the Bay area?
v34 startup demodulation « Result #6 on Dec 18, 2009, 11:48pm »
Does any one know about any books or literature that detail the v34 modem startup sequence? I recorded the startup sequence to demodulate it using matlab and having some problems with phase lock loop locking etc.
