MATLAB Source Code for Multipath Propagation Simulation in Mobile Communication Channels

This document demonstrates how to implement multipath propagation simulation for mobile communication channels using MATLAB. The provided source code enables comprehensive understanding of multipath propagation concepts and principles in wireless communication systems. Multipath propagation occurs when signals undergo multiple reflections, scattering, and diffraction during transmission, resulting in multiple signal paths arriving at the receiver. The simulation code implements key algorithms including delay profile generation, path loss calculation, and signal combining techniques to analyze how multipath effects impact signal transmission quality. The implementation utilizes MATLAB's signal processing toolbox functions such as rayleighchan for channel modeling and filter for signal convolution operations. Researchers, students, and professionals in wireless communications can use this simulation source code as a practical tool for optimizing mobile communication system performance by analyzing channel characteristics, evaluating equalization techniques, and testing mitigation strategies for multipath-induced distortions like inter-symbol interference.
