Verzögerungs–Doppler–Funktion

For the mobile radio channel as a time-variant system, there are a total of four system functions that are linked with each other via the Fourier transform. With the nomenclature from our learning tutorial, these are:

• the time-variant impulse response  $h(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}t)$, which we also denote here as  $\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau,\hspace{0.05cm} t)$ ,
• the delay-Doppler function  $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau,\hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D})$,
• the frequency-Doppler function  $\eta_{\rm FD}(f, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$,
• the time-variant transfer function  $\eta_{\rm FZ}(f,\hspace{0.05cm}t)$  or  $H(f, \hspace{0.05cm}t)$.

The indices represent the delay (V) $\tau$, the time (Z)   $t$, the frequency (F)  $f$  and the Doppler frequency (D)  $f_{\rm D}$.

The delay–Doppler function  $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau,\hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D})$  is shown in the top plot:

$$\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, f_{\rm D}) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \delta (\tau) \cdot \delta (f_{\rm D} - 100\,{\rm Hz})-$$

$$\hspace{1.75cm} \ - \ \hspace{-0.1cm} \frac{1}{2} \cdot \delta (\tau- 1\,{\rm \mu s}) \cdot \delta (f_{\rm D} - 50\,{\rm Hz})- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \delta (\tau- 1\,{\rm \mu s}) \cdot \delta (f_{\rm D} + 50\,{\rm Hz}) \hspace{0.05cm}.$$

In the literature,  $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$  is often also called scatter function and denoted with  $s(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$ .

In this task, the associated delay–time function  $\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}t)$  and the frequency–Doppler function  $\eta_{\rm FD}(f, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$  are to be determined.

Notes:

• This task should clarify the subject matter of the chapter  Das GWSSUS–Kanalmodell.
• The relationship between the individual system functions is given in the  graph on the first page  of this chapter.
• Note that the magnitude function  $|\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D})|$  is shown above, so negative weights of the Dirac functions cannot be recognized.

	By Fourier transformation of  $\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}t)$  with respect to  $\tau$.
	By Fourier inverse transformation of  $\eta_{\rm FD}(f,\hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D})$  with respect to  $f_{\rm D}$.

Sample solution

Solution

(1)  The time-variant impulse response $h(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm} t) = \eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau, \hspace{0. 05cm} t)$ is the inverse Fourier transform of the delay–Doppler function $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau,\hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D}) = s(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D})$:

$$\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm} t) \hspace{0.2cm} \stackrel{t, \hspace{0.02cm}f_{\rm D}}{\circ\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\bullet} \hspace{0.2cm} \eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, f_{\rm D})\hspace{0.05cm}.$$

• Accordingly, $\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau,\hspace{0.05cm} t)$ is identical for all values of $\tau$ $0$, for which no components can be recognized in the scatter function $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, f_{\rm D})$.
• The solutions 1 and 2 are therefore correct: Only for $\tau = 0$ and $\tau = 1 \ \ \rm \mu s$ the time variant impulse response has finite values.

(2)  For the delay $\tau = 0$ the scatter–function ($\eta_{\rm VD}$) consists of a single Dirac at $f_{\rm D} = 100 \ \rm Hz$.

• For the searched time function is valid according to the second Fourier integral:

$$\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau = 0, t) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \cdot \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \delta (f_{\rm D} - 100\,{\rm Hz}) \cdot {\rm e}^{{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm}\cdot\hspace{0.05cm} 2 \pi f_{\rm D} t}\hspace{0.15cm}{\rm d}f_{\rm D} =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot {\rm e}^{ {\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm}\cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi t \hspace{0.05cm}\cdot \hspace{0.05cm}100\,{\rm Hz}} .$$

• The correct solution is therefore solution 1.

(3)  For the delay time $\tau = 1 \ \ \rm µ s$ the delay–Doppler–function consists of two Dirac functions at $±50 \ \rm Hz$, each with the weight $-0.5$.

• The time function thus results in

$$\eta_{\rm VZ}(\tau = 1\,{\rm \mu s}, t) = - \cos( 2 \pi t \cdot 50\,{\rm Hz})\hspace{0.05cm}.$ *This function can be represented with $A = -1$ and $f_0 = 50 \ \rm Hz$ according to <u>solution 2</u>. '''(4)'''  The three Dirac functions $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$ are at the Doppler frequencies $+100 \ \rm Hz$, $+50 \ \rm Hz$ and $-50 \ \rm Hz$. *For all other Doppler frequencies, therefore, $\eta_{\rm FD}(f, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D}) must also be \equiv 0$. *The <u>solution is therefore correct here the <u>solution 2</u>. '''(5)''''  If one looks at the scatter–function $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$ in the direction of the $\tau$–axis, one recognizes only one Dirac function each at the Doppler frequencies $100 \ \rm Hz$ and $±50 \ \rm Hz$. *Here, depending on $f$, complex exponential oscillations with constant magnitude result in each case (from which it follows that the <u>solution 1</u> is correct): $$|\eta_{\rm FD}(f, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D} = 100\,{\rm Hz})| \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} {1}/{\sqrt{2}} = {\rm const.}$$ $$| \eta_{\rm FD}(f, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D}= \pm 50\,{\rm Hz})| \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} 0.5 = {\rm const.}$$ [[File:P_ID2168__Mob_A_2_5e_new.png|right|frame|interrelation of all system functions]] '''(6)'''  As can be seen from the given [[Mobile_Communications/The_GWSSUS%E2%80%93Channel Model#Generalized_System Functions_Time-Variant_Systems|Graphics]], the <u>solution alternatives 2 and 3</u> are applicable. *The graphic shows all system functions. *The Fourier correspondences (shown in green) illustrate the relationships between these system functions.
