Abstract :
A theoretical model is developed for simulating fast Rayleigh fading while maintaining the spatial coordinates of the mobile relative to the base station. The spatial channel simulator is used for testing angle diversity and tracking algorithms. Co-channel interference is introduced by including either base stations or mobiles at locations in the two dimensional space, all relative to the cell under test. This model can be used for testing the dynamic nature of adaptive antenna complex weighting algorithms. The features of the model are demonstrated using a phased array antenna at the base station
