Abstract
Flat fading approximation assumes that the systembandwidth is small compared to the coherence bandwidth. Anupper bound is derived for an approximation to the error involvedin flat fading approximation thereby giving us a measure of thedegradation. The bound is found to vary as the square of thesystem bandwidth to coherence bandwidth ratio.Index Terms---Coherence bandwidth, flat-fading, frequencyselectivefading, multipath.I.
