Dear All, I'm given a power delay profile figure, I have to calculate the corresponding impulse response values. How can I do this? Please tell me the steps as I'm doing this problem for days now.. Thank you Frank

I'm not sure what you mean by "power delay profile". (It sounds like something related to gasoline engines.) I'm gonna guess that a "power delay profile" is some sort of graph. If that's true, what are the dimensions along the horizontal and vertical axes? The more info you can provide, the better chance the guys here have in providing some useful guidance for you. [-Rick-]

If so, it seems that you will need to provide some side information before you can try to get a statistical description of impulse responses that might create a similar power delay profile and also fit with your local radio environment in some sense.

Thanks for your answer In power deleay profile I mean the plot of the tap delay (us) on the x axis, and the corresponding amplitude (dB) on the y axis.. All of the channel models (rural,hilly..etc) are given in this form, and I need to calculate the impulse response value (h). thank you, regard, Frank "Mike Yarwood" <mpyarwood@btopenworld.com> az al�bbiakat �rta a k�vetkez� h�r�zenetben: dn2jat$rr2$1@nwrdmz02.dmz.ncs.ea.ibs-infra.bt.com...> > "Rick Lyons" <R.Lyons@_BOGUS_ieee.org> wrote in message > news:4394c203.339547062@news.sf.sbcglobal.net... >> On Mon, 5 Dec 2005 18:47:20 +0100, "Frank Benett" <frank_b@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>>Dear All, >>>I'm given a power delay profile figure, I have to calculate the >>>corresponding impulse response >>>values. >>>How can I do this?

(It's a little more compoicated for an FFE) No??? Mark

this is the magnitude of the tap coefficient expressed in dB? why would anyone do that? to show exponential trend as linear? for the same reasons we typically use dB for SNR etc.... to show a wide dynamic range on a single graph and because the value relative to the main tap is important..i.e the relative level of the reflection is important..... they are typically shown as dB relative to the main tap...
