The dynamic channel in GNURadio models the Doppler spectrum accurately. What I don’t get (and what I asked in the other thread) is why this is > multiplied with d_m.

Thus a Doppler shift of Fd in the time domain corresponds to exp(j*2*pi*Fd*t). And since Dynamic channel model(flat_fader to be precise) in GNURadio models the Doppler in the time domain, the d_m could be a way to model the time. I would also ask a supplementing question that I am having problems understanding. I would expect the Doppler shift to be modelled by a complex exponential(cos[2*pi*Fd*t*cos(alpha)] + i sin [2*pi*Fd*t*cos(alpha)]) which corroborates what we know from the Fourier correspondence of a Doppler shift. Why then, in the Dynamic channel model in GNURadio (flat_fader to be precise), the Doppler is modelled by (cos[2*pi*Fd*t*cos(alpha)] + i cos [2*pi*Fd*t*sin(alpha)]) ?? I.e why is the imaginary part a cos ?
