Abstract

A method is introduced by which the statistical properties of the long-term fading of a signal can be found from a section of decibel-scale data. First the median of a subsection of signal fading in decibels is found directly from the average of its decibel values over each given time interval; then the long-term fading can be plotted. From such fading data, the statistical properties can be found directly and quickly from the measured level-crossing-rate (LCR) curve.
