Abstract :
This paper reviews the wireless channels simulated by the generic channel simulator (GCS) a software package developed for the DoD. The wireless channels considered are: cellular/PCS, VHF/UHF mobile-mobile and mobile-base station, VHF/UHF air-air and air-ground, land mobile satellite, indoor channels, and HF ionospheric. Simulations include distortion (multipath) and additive disturbances. Input parameters and environments for default scenarios are discussed. The background and current status of the GCS are reviewed
