Effects of fading in wireless communication

Effects of fading in wireless communication

Fading can cause decline in performance in a wireless communication system because it results in the loss of signal power thus reducing the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). It can even cause temporary failure of communication due to a severe drop in SNR.

What are the effects of fading?

Fading can cause poor performance in a communication system because it can result in a loss of signal power without reducing the power of the noise. This signal loss can be over some or all of the signal bandwidth.

Why does fading occur in wireless communication?

Fading occurs when there are significant variations in received signal amplitude and phase over time or space. Fading can be frequency-selective—that is, different frequency components of a single transmitted signal can undergo different amounts of fading.

What is fading effect What are different types of fading?

Flat Fading: In flat fading, all frequency components get affected almost equally. Flat multipath fading causes the amplitude to fluctuate over a period of time. Selective Fading: Selective Fading or Selective Frequency Fading refers to multipath fading when the selected frequency component of the signal is affected.

What is fading and its causes?

What Causes Fading. Fading can be caused due to natural weather disturbances, such as rainfall, snow, fog, hail and extremely cold air over a warm earth. Fading can also be created by man made disturbances, such as irrigation, or from multiple transmission paths, irregular earth surfaces, and varying terrains.
