Effect of leap length on the quality of large capacity numerical linkages

With regards to the selectivity fadings due to multiple paths, these fadings produce signal degradation that is more important than that of a nonselective fading of the same profundity. This occurs as if the capacity of the equipment for fading were reduced in the presence of multipath propagation and leads to the introduction of the notion of sharply-defined capacity as opposed to the rough capacity measured in the case of nonselective fading. It is shown that, for a numeric signal of given characteristics (numeric debit, type of modulation) the finely defined capacity is independent of the length of the shift.
