Class Channel

java.lang.Object
  edu.cmu.emulator.signal.Channel

public class Channel
extends Object

This class implements the logical equivalent of the physical channel which exists between two antennas - a source and a destination antenna.

Each channel also contains a channel model object which emulates the behavior of the channel.
