Communication Systems/Fading Channels
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Over large distances, signal quality is shown to degrade even without the presence of large quantities of AWGN. This degradation is known as fading, and channels that exhibit these properties are known as fading channels.

[edit] What Causes Fading
Fading can be caused by natural weather disturbances, such as rainfall, snow, fog, hail and extremely cold air over a warm earth. Fading can also be created by man made disturbances, such as irrigation, or from multiple transmission paths, irregular earth surfaces, and varying terrains.
