Multipath fading could be included as a subset of this article.

Please add here direct links to articles on: 1) Rayleigh fading distribution statistics (equation + diagram); 2) Rice; 3) Ricean fading distribution statistics (equation + diagram) Thanks, RS

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs changing, please feel free to make whatever changes you feel are needed.

And all this time I thought Rician fading referred to a certain actress's career... Angr/talk 15:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would underwater acoustic multipathing fit into this subject heading or is it only atmospheric signal? Subsea (talk) 07:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not in acq with underwater transmission, but I think that this applies whenever there is a wave moving in a medium, and it is conceived as a ray. --Cantalamessa (talk) 12:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Multipath in wired media

Although many people think that Multipath propagation only happens in wireless, it's also a very common problem in wired media like power lines (specially when operating at MHz frequencies). I added a section about that, but the rest of the article (which I didn't want to change) still gives the impression that this only applies to wireless communications.

Info Needed

How common multipath is, how common horizontal vs vertical multipath is, and whether multipath is taken into account normally when calculating pathloss. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.76.200 (talk) 17:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

The multipath interference article seems to cover the same subject area as this page (multipath propagation), but is much less complete - and therefore I'm proposing a merger of multipath interference into multipath propagation. What do you reckon? --catslash (talk) 00:03, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Jim.henderson (talk) 21:09, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that it should be merge. Interference and propogation are different terms.--Mohitkr05 (talk) 17:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comb filtering?

This sounds to me exactly like (what audio people call) comb filtering, but the description here says it's specific to RF. Is multipath interference to RF what comb filtering is to sound waves? Is it just a different term for a different context? 2601:602:A080:1240:7F1B:96B:9D85:CAD2 (talk) 22:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The multiple paths will cause comb filtering. Because of the relative narrow bandwidth of carrier signals, the experience with RF is more about spacial effects than frequency response. ~Kvng (talk) 20:00, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
