Homework 2 of EE226

1) Consider a transmitter, a receiver and a reflector all located on a straight line. Each of the
three nodes moves along the straight line at the speed v or v (with random choice of
the two possible directions). Determine the maximum and minimum possible doppler shift
at the receiver for a frequency f . Then, add another reflector which also moves along the
line at the speed v or v. Determine the maximum possible doppler spread at the receiver
for the frequency f . Also revisit your previous solution to Problem 2 in HW 1.
t) of h(, t) is expressed as a weighted
2) In the lecture notes, the complex envelope h(,
sum of the functions sinc(( i )W ) where i is the delay of the ith path. However, this
t) is not causal due to the fact that sinc( W ), which is the impulse response of an
h(,
ideal low pass filter, does not die completely on its left hand side unless = . In
practice, we have to use a causal low pass filter to replace the ideal low pass filter. In this

case, what changes do we have to make in the expression of h(,
