Description
The comm.RayleighChannel
System object™ filters an input signal through the multipath Rayleigh fading channel. For
more information on fading model processing, see the Methodology for Simulating
Multipath Fading Channels section.
To filter an input signal through a multipath Rayleigh fading channel:
Create the
comm.RayleighChannel
object and set its properties.Call the object with arguments, as if it were a function.
To learn more about how System objects work, see What Are System Objects?
Creation
Description
creates a
frequency-selective or frequency-flat multipath Rayleigh fading channel System
object. This object filters a real or complex input signal through the multipath
channel to obtain a channel-impaired signal.rayleighchan
= comm.RayleighChannel
sets properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example,
rayleighchan
= comm.RayleighChannel(Name
=Value
)comm.RayleighChannel(SampleRate=2)
sets the input signal sample
rate to 2.
Properties
Unless otherwise indicated, properties are nontunable, which means you cannot change their
values after calling the object. Objects lock when you call them, and the
release
function unlocks them.
If a property is tunable, you can change its value at any time.
For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.

Examples
Produce Same Rayleigh Channel Outputs Using Two Random Number Generation Methods
Produce the same multipath Rayleigh fading channel response by using two different methods for random number generation. The multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object includes two methods for random number generation. You can use the current global stream or the mt19937ar algorithm with a specified seed. By interacting with the global stream, the System object can produce the same outputs from these two methods.
Create a PSK modulator System object to modulate randomly generated data.
pskModulator = comm.PSKModulator; insig = randi([0,pskModulator.ModulationOrder-1],1024,1); channelInput = pskModulator(insig);
Create a multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object, specifying the random number generation method as the my19937ar algorithm and the random number seed as 22.
rayleighchan = comm.RayleighChannel( ... 'SampleRate',10e3, ... 'PathDelays',[0 1.5e-4], ... 'AveragePathGains',[2 3], ... 'NormalizePathGains',true, ... 'MaximumDopplerShift',30, ... 'DopplerSpectrum',{doppler('Gaussian',0.6),doppler('Flat')}, ... 'RandomStream','mt19937ar with seed', ... 'Seed',22, ... 'PathGainsOutputPort',true);
Filter the modulated data by using the multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object.
[chanOut1,pathGains1] = rayleighchan(channelInput);
Set the System object to use the global stream for random number generation.
release(rayleighchan);
rayleighchan.RandomStream = 'Global stream';
Set the global stream to have the same seed that you specified when creating the multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object.

Display Impulse and Frequency Responses of Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel
Display the impulse and frequency responses of a frequency-selective multipath Rayleigh fading channel that is configured to disable channel filtering.
Define simulation variables. Specify path delays and gains by using the ITU pedestrian B channel configuration.

Create a multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object to visualize the impulse response and frequency response plots.

Visualize the channel response by running the multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object with no input signal. The impulse response plot enables you to identify the individual paths and their corresponding filter coefficients. The frequency response plot shows the frequency-selective nature of the ITU pedestrian B channel.

Model Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel by Using Sum-of-Sinusoids Technique
Show that the channel state is maintained for discontinuous transmissions by using multipath Rayleigh fading channel System objects that use the sum-of-sinusoids technique. Observe discontinuous channel response segments overlaid on a continuous channel response.
Set the channel properties.
fs = 1000; % Sample rate (Hz) pathDelays = [0 2.5e-3]; % In seconds pathPower = [0 -6]; % In dB fD = 5; % Maximum Doppler shift (Hz) ns = 1000; % Number of samples nsdel = 100; % Number of samples for delayed paths
Define a continuous time span and three discontinuous time segments over which to plot and view the channel response. View a 1000-sample continuous channel response that starts at time 0 and three 100-sample channel responses that start at times 0.1, 0.4, and 0.7 seconds, respectively.
to0 = 0.0; to1 = 0.1; to2 = 0.4; to3 = 0.7; t0 = (to0:ns-1)/fs; % Transmission 0 t1 = to1+(0:nsdel-1)/fs; % Transmission 1 t2 = to2+(0:nsdel-1)/fs; % Transmission 2 t3 = to3+(0:nsdel-1)/fs; % Transmission 3
Create a frequency-flat multipath Rayleigh fading System object, specifying a 1000 Hz sampling rate, the sum-of-sinusoids fading technique, disabled channel filtering, and the number of samples to view. Specify a seed value so that results can be repeated. Use the default InitialTime
property setting so that the fading channel is simulated from time 0.
rayleighchan1 = comm.RayleighChannel('SampleRate',fs, ... 'MaximumDopplerShift',fD, ... 'RandomStream','mt19937ar with seed', ... 'Seed',17, ... 'FadingTechnique','Sum of sinusoids', ... 'ChannelFiltering',false, ... 'NumSamples',ns);
Create a clone of the multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object. In the cloned object, set the number of samples to view for the delayed paths. Also configure the initial time source as an input so that you can specify the fading channel offset time as an input argument when using the System object.
rayleighchan2 = clone(rayleighchan1);
rayleighchan2.NumSamples = nsdel;
rayleighchan2.InitialTimeSource = 'Input port';
Save the path gain output for the continuous channel response by using the rayleighchan1
object and for the discontinuous delayed channel responses by using the rayleighchan2
object with initial time offsets are provided as input arguments.
pg0 = rayleighchan1(); pg1 = rayleighchan2(to1); pg2 = rayleighchan2(to2); pg3 = rayleighchan2(to3);
Compare the number of samples processed by the two channels by using the info
object function. The rayleighchan1
object processed 1000 samples, while the rayleighchan2
object processed only 300 samples.
G = info(rayleighchan1); H = info(rayleighchan2); [G.NumSamplesProcessed H.NumSamplesProcessed]
ans = 1×2
1000 300
Convert the path gains into decibels.
pathGain0 = 20*log10(abs(pg0)); pathGain1 = 20*log10(abs(pg1)); pathGain2 = 20*log10(abs(pg2)); pathGain3 = 20*log10(abs(pg3));
Plot the path gains for the continuous and discontinuous cases. The gains for the three segments match the gain for the continuous case. Because the channel characteristics are maintained even when data is not transmitted, the alignment of the two plots shows that the sum-of-sinusoids technique is suited to the simulation of packetized data.

Pass data through the channel. Assign the ChannelFilterCoefficients

, apply the path gains, and sum the results for all of the paths. Compare the output of the multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object (chanout1
) to the output reproduced using the path gains and the ChannelFilterCoefficients
property of the multipath Rayleigh fading channel System object (chanout2
).
chaninfo = info(rayleighchan); coeff = chaninfo.ChannelFilterCoefficients; Np = length(rayleighchan.PathDelays); state = zeros(size(coeff,2)-1,size(coeff,1)); nFrames = 10; chkChan = zeros(nFrames,1); for jj = 1 : nFrames data = randi([0 1],600,1); [chanout1,pg] = rayleighchan(data); fracdelaydata = zeros(size(data,1),Np); % Calculate the fractional delayed input signal. for ii = 1:Np [fracdelaydata(:,ii),state(:,ii)] = ... filter(coeff(ii,:),1,data,state(:,ii)); end % Apply the path gains and sum the results for all of the paths. % Compare the channel outputs. chanout2 = sum(pg .* fracdelaydata,2); chkChan(jj) = isequal(chanout1,chanout2); end chkChan'

Using the channel path gains received per antenna, compute the autocovariance of the fading process for each transmit-receive path.
