The impulse response of a FIR filter is basically a sinc signal sampled
at sampling period T until the length of the filter. Hk is the complex
value at each of the path delay specified by the user. Since we need to
get a Rayleigh distribution a pair of ( for the real and imaginary parts
)white guassian noise source is passed through a Doppler shaping filter
( if required ) and the resulting values for each path delay is the
impulse response of the channel which can be convolved with the
modulator output to simulate the channel effects

Hope this helps

Subject: [matlab] Rayleighchan function in matlab

Hi all,

I am modelling a multipath rayleigh channel using matlab function
Rayleighchan.

This function models the channel as a FIR filter. You can find the
algorithm in the matlab help rayleighchan page or look at the document
attached.
Can anybody help me understand the algorithm? why is the channel
modelled as a sum of sinc?
Best Regards,
Thouraya
