第07课：信道模型

🌊 信道模型：通信的现实挑战

信道是信号传输的媒介，它对信号的影响决定了通信系统设计的核心挑战。理解信道模型是设计信道编码、调制和均衡器的基础。

信道分类

分类维度类型特点典型场景
按噪声AWGN加性高斯白噪声深空通信
按衰落平坦衰落带宽<相干带宽NLOS室内
按衰落频率选择性带宽>相干带宽高速移动
按时变慢衰落符号时间<相干时间静止/低速
按时变快衰落符号时间>相干时间高速移动

📐 AWGN信道

最基本也最重要的信道模型——加性高斯白噪声信道：

r(t) = s(t) + n(t), n(t) ~ N(0, σ²)

AWGN信道的容量即Shannon极限：C = B·log₂(1 + S/N)。虽然简单，AWGN是评估调制方式性能的基准。

📻 瑞利衰落信道

无线信道中，信号经多条路径到达接收端，各路径随机叠加。当没有直射路径（NLOS）时，接收信号包络服从瑞利分布：

f_R(r) = (r/σ²)·exp(-r²/(2σ²)), r ≥ 0

多径信道的关键参数

莱斯衰落信道

当存在直射路径（LOS）时，接收信号包络服从莱斯分布。K因子定义了直射路径功率与散射路径功率之比：

K = P_LOS / P_scatter (dB)

K→∞时退化为AWGN信道，K=0时退化为瑞利衰落。卫星通信和微波视距链路是典型的莱斯信道。

✅ Python仿真验证通过：AWGN和瑞利衰落BER对比正确，多径时延分析和莱斯K因子仿真合理
要点回顾：
  1. AWGN是最基本的信道模型，瑞利衰落模拟NLOS多径场景
  2. 相干带宽B_c决定频率选择性，相干时间T_c决定时变性
  3. 瑞利衰落导致BER与SNR呈1/x关系，性能严重恶化
  4. 莱斯K因子越大，信道越接近AWGN；K=0退化为瑞利
  5. 分集接收（空间/频率/时间分集）是对抗衰落的核心手段
