Jakes Fading Model
Jakes' Fading Model describes how wireless signal strength fluctuates over time due to reflections, diffractions, and scattering caused by obstacles like buildings or trees. These multipath effects cause the signal to vary randomly, leading to what engineers call "fading." The model specifically predicts the statistical behavior of these fluctuations in environments where signals overlap and interfere. It's widely used in designing and analyzing radio systems to ensure reliable communication, helping engineers anticipate how signals will behave in real-world settings with moving objects and complex surroundings.
