Abstract :
A method is presented for deriving the RMS delay spread from non-coherent wideband channel measurements (measured amplitude transfer functions). A frequency-domain model of the frequency-selective, Rician fading channel is used, allowing a theoretical evaluation of the transfer function´s level crossing statistics
