Definition

A canonical model for the temporal Doppler spectrum of a narrowband mobile radio channel arising from many scatterers uniformly distributed in angle around a receiver (isotropic scattering), which yields the classical 'Jakes' Doppler power spectral density characterized by pronounced peaks at the maximum Doppler shift and a U‑shaped spectrum.
