Fading distribution (101 words) |
 | In telecommunication, a fading distribution is the probability distribution that signal fading will exceed a given value relative to a specified reference level. |
 | In the case of phase interference fading, the time distribution of the instantaneous field strength usually approximates a Rayleigh distribution when several signal components of equal amplitude are present. |
 | The fading distribution may also be measured in terms of power level, where the unit of measure is usually watts per square meter and the expression is in dB. |
