Abstract
In this letter, a procedure for generating N Rayleigh fading envelopes with any desired covariance matrix is given. This method, numerical in nature, enables researchers to simulate correlated fading envelopes, for use in: 1) the study of the impact of correlation on diversity system performance and 2) the study of multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA), where the number of carriers notably exceeds the degree of system diversity.
