Using the amplitude variation of a reverberation chamber channel to predict the synchronization of a wireless digital communication test system

摘要

We discuss the use of a metric based on the amplitude variation of a channel in the signal bandwidth to predict whether or not a digital wireless communication test system receiver will be able to demodulate a test signal. This metric is compared to another method consisting of the correlation calculated across the channel. A logistic regression analysis is used to provide a normalized assessment of the effectiveness of each metric as a predictive tool. We show that both metrics provide similar predictive capabilities, with the peak-to-minimum being significantly easier to calculate.
