Channel normalization in MATLAB simulation

channel normalization

Hi,
I am simulating BPSK in fading channel. I am using three taps channel.i.e
h=(1/sqrt(2)).*abs((randn(1,3)+j*randn(1,3)))
My quiery is that i have studied that the channel has to be normalizied for all such simulation. What does this mean and how it is done?
Is the above command line is correct or following is correct
h=(1/sqrt(6)).*abs((randn(1,3)+j*randn(1,3)))
Please give me the basic knowledge of this channel normalization.
please also tell me do the same theory applies for the noise scaling for calculating Eb/No.
Thanks,

Channel normalization in MATLAB

h=(1/sqrt(2)).*abs((randn(1,3)+j*randn(1,3)));
h = h./norm(h);

this method is refer channel power to be 1.

And more, i have found a good discuss about normalization here.



hope u got
