WC Unit 3 Q&a

1. Small-scale multipath propagation is caused by multiple versions of the transmitted signal reaching the receiver with slight differences in time, angle of arrival, and amplitude due to reflection, diffraction, and scattering from local scatterers in the environment. 2. Factors influencing small-scale fading include multipath propagation, speed and type of transmitter/receiver, transmission medium properties, and Doppler shift. Doppler shift causes changes in the received frequency due to relative motion between transmitter and receiver. 3. There are different types of small-scale fading including flat fading and frequency-selective fading depending on if the channel's coherence bandwidth is greater or less than the signal bandwidth, respectively.
