Explain methods for mitigating wireless channel impairments.

 "...  Chapter 5:: Wireless Channel Impairment Mitigation Techniques :: Book Author(s): Haesik Kim irst published: 07 August 2015 :: https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118759479.ch5 PDFPDF :: TOOLS :: SHARE Summary

Wireless channels cause many types of wireless channel impairments such as noise, path loss, shadowing, and fading, and wireless communication systems should be designed to overcome these wireless channel impairments. This chapter investigates the fundamentals of wireless channel impairment mitigation techniques. Diversity techniques mitigate multipath fading effects and improve the reliability of a signal by utilizing multiple received signals with different characteristics. C. Shannon predicts that it is possible to transmit information without errors over the unreliable channel and an error control coding technique exists to achieve this. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques are classified into spatial diversity techniques, spatial multiplexing techniques, and beamforming techniques. Due to a time dispersive channel by multipath fading, Inter‐Symbol Interference (ISI) occurs and an equalizer plays an important role in ISI compensation. The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system also has many advantages.  ..."

3) Perform system simulations ((de)modulation, BER and channel models). ( 
http://www.mitpublications.org/yellow_images/1381645539_logo_4.pdf )

"... In a digital transmission, BER is the percentage of bits with errors divided by the total number of bits that have been transmitted, received or processed over a given time period. The rate istypically expressed as 10 to the negative power. For example, four erroneous bits out of 100,000 bits transmitted would be expressed as 4 × 10-5, or the expression 3 × 10-6 would indicate that three bits were in error out of 1,000,000 transmitted. BER is the digital equivalent to signal-to-noise ratio in an analog system. ..." [ "bit error rate" :: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_error_rate ]

This department eventually grew into a subsidiary corporation of Bendix and played a major role in the space program. Over time, other countries came into possession of the FPS-20 and its derivatives either through purchase or transfer of ownership from the U.S. Northern Electric of Canada also produced the radar under license so it became a worldwide standard for search radar. In the 1970s, Radio (Communications) Division launched an effort to sell additional systems or upgrades on the international market. This resulted in the sale of an FPS-100 and an associated height finder to Argentina and upgrades for systems in Thailand, India, and Chile. Bendix Field Engineering also supplied a number of kits to the FAA to adapt the radar to the air traffic control environment. With a waning corporate interest in the radar business, either domestic or foreign, the radar product line was eliminated at the Division. ..."
