Hints for calculating the shape factors, including angular spread (λ), angular constriction (γ), and direction of maximum fading (θmax), for the laplacian azimuth spectrum used in a class project. The laplacian azimuth spectrum is given by the equation with constants a, θ0, and θ1. The nth fourier coefficient is calculated using the given formula with the provided values for θ0 and θ1. The results should be numbers between 0 and 1, with larger angular spread and smaller angular constriction for larger θ1.

Several students requested some help in calculating the shape factors for the Laplacian azimuth spectrum used in the project. Recall that the Laplacian azimuth spectrum is given by
p(θ) = A exp
θ − θ 0 θ 1
The constant A is arbitrary (it will only change the average received power, not the shape of the distribution or the statistics of the fading.) The value θ 0 is the azimuth direction of peak arrival and, in general, points in the direction of the base station transmitter. The value θ 1 is related to the thickness of the distribution. The nth Fourier coefficient of this spectrum is given by
Fn =
2 Aθ 1 exp(jnθ 0 ) n^2 θ^21 + 1
1 − (−1)nθ 1 exp
π θ 1
where θ 0 and θ 1 are in radians. Just plug in the values for your θ 1 = 120◦^ and θ 1 = 3◦^ models and solve for angular spread (Λ), angular constriction (γ), and direction of maximum fading (θmax ). A few hints about what your results should look like:
