Rayleigh fading is a statistical model for the effect of a propagation environment on a radio signal, such as that used by wireless devices.. Rayleigh fading models assume that the magnitude of a signal that has passed through such a transmission medium (also called a communication channel) will vary randomly, or fade, according to a Rayleigh distribution — the radial component of the sum of ...
The distribution is named after Lord Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /). [1] A Rayleigh distribution is often observed when the overall magnitude of a vector in the plane is related to its directional components. One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions.

This corresponds to the following non-logarithmic gain model: =, where = / is the average multiplicative gain at the reference distance from the transmitter. This gain depends on factors such as carrier frequency, antenna heights and antenna gain, for example due to directional antennas; and = / is a stochastic process that reflects flat fading.
The Nakagami distribution is relatively new, being first proposed in 1960 by Minoru Nakagami as a mathematical model for small-scale fading in long-distance high-frequency radio wave propagation. [4] It has been used to model attenuation of wireless signals traversing multiple paths [ 5 ] and to study the impact of fading channels on wireless ...
In mathematics, the Rayleigh quotient [1] (/ ˈ r eɪ. l i /) for a given complex Hermitian matrix and nonzero vector is defined as: [2] [3] (,) =. For real matrices and vectors, the condition of being Hermitian reduces to that of being symmetric , and the conjugate transpose x ∗ {\displaystyle x^{*}} to the usual transpose x ...
Path loss normally includes propagation losses caused by the natural expansion of the radio wave front in free space (which usually takes the shape of an ever-increasing sphere), absorption losses (sometimes called penetration losses), when the signal passes through media not transparent to electromagnetic waves, diffraction losses when part of the radiowave front is obstructed by an opaque ...
In practice, the first approximation of coherence time suggests a time duration during which a Rayleigh fading signal may fluctuate wildly, and the second approximation is often too restrictive.
