Simulation of Rician Channel with MATLAB Implementation

This is a MATLAB-implemented Rician channel simulation program designed to model the characteristics and performance of Rician fading channels. The simulation generates both line-of-sight (LOS) and scattered signal components using mathematical models that incorporate K-factor and Doppler shift parameters.

The Rician channel model is widely used in wireless communication systems to study transmission performance under various conditions. This program enables simulation of signal transmission, attenuation, and interference scenarios in Rician environments, allowing researchers to better understand and optimize wireless communication system designs. The core algorithm calculates the complex channel coefficients by combining a dominant LOS component with multiple scattered paths using Rayleigh distribution modeling.

During simulation, users can adjust various parameters including signal power, time delay differences, multipath propagation conditions, and K-factor values to simulate different communication environments. Key functions include channel coefficient generation, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) calculation, and bit error rate (BER) performance evaluation. By analyzing simulation results, researchers can assess Rician channel performance under different conditions and propose corresponding improvement strategies.

Developed using MATLAB, this program offers high flexibility and usability through its modular code structure. The implementation includes functions for channel initialization, parameter configuration, and result visualization, making it valuable for both academic research and engineering applications. Researchers and engineers can utilize this tool as a reference for wireless system design and performance analysis.
