Simple Model
In a simple model, a signal transmitted at time will be received as
where is the channel impulse response (CIR) at time . A signal transmitted at time will be received as
Now, if is relatively small, the channel may be considered constant within the interval to .
Coherence time will therefore be given by

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or model:
“Let us consider that we are all partially insane. It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now.”
