I am running the code from the following URL: https://kr.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/comm.ricianchannel-system-object.html. I copied and executed the example to visualize the channel's impulse response. However, when I run the same code multiple times with the same path gains and delays, I get different impulse response results each time. What could be the reason for this?
This behavior is unexpected because the code and settings are the same for each run, and the impulse response should remain constant.
This is the code.
fs = 3.84e6; % Sample rate in Hz
pathDelays = [0 200 800 1200 2300 3700]*1e-9; % in seconds
avgPathGains = [0 -0.9 -4.9 -8 -7.8 -23.9]; % dB
kfact = 10; % Rician K-factor
fD = 50; % Max Doppler shift in Hz
ricianChan = comm.RicianChannel( ...
SampleRate=fs, ...
PathDelays=pathDelays, ...
AveragePathGains=avgPathGains, ...
KFactor=kfact, ...
MaximumDopplerShift=fD, ....
Visualization='Impulse and frequency responses');
ricianChan(0.1);
The two images below show the results of running the same code.
