Abstract :
New expressions for the joint moments, mean, variance and amount of fading (AF) of the Joint Fading and Two-path Shadowing (JFTS) distribution are derived in this letter. The derived expressions for theoretical mean and variance are shown to agree with the experimental results. The AF expression is used for comparing the severity of fading imparted by the JFTS distribution to the fading severity of other common small scale fading and composite fading / shadowing distributions.
