Information on Rayleigh fading

Rayleigh fading is fading in a satellite communications channel due to the interference caused to the main signal by the same signal arriving over many different paths, resulting in out-of-phase components incident at the receiver.
     Rayleigh fading occurs commonly in wireless communications channels, including satellite communications channels.
