Abstract
This paper investigates a Rician complex envelope
which is subject to line-of-sight (LOS) shadowing. In particular,
exact closed-form expressions are obtained for the joint envelopephase distribution, the distribution of the phase, and that of
the quadrature and in-phase signal components. Using the
new formulation for the phase distribution, we find that for
increasing shadowing severity, the phase becomes progressively
more disperse. Interestingly, the phase is shown to be unimodal.
This illustrates that the relationship which is known to exist
between the envelope of Rician fading which undergoes LOS
shadowing and Hoyt fading does not extend to the phase. We
also provide two applications of our new results which investigate
the average bit error probability and the average symbol error
probability for phase-based modulation schemes operating in
LOS shadowed fading channels. The results are shown to provide
excellent agreement with Monte Carlo simulations.
