LOS Model
LOS path exists? chooses Rician (LOS) vs Rayleigh (NLOS) model.
Rician factor (K) (R)
Rician factor (ratio of the specular power to the scattered power)
Seed
Noise seed
PDP Delays (samp)
Time delay in the fir filter (in samples) for each arriving Wide-Sense Stationary Uncorrelated Scattering (WSSUS) Ray
PDP Magnitudes
Magnitude corresponding to each WSSUS Ray (linear)
Num Taps
Number of FIR taps to use in selective fading model

Example Flowgraph

Insert description of flowgraph here, then show a screenshot of the flowgraph and the output if there is an interesting GUI. Currently we have no standard method of uploading the actual flowgraph to the wiki or git repo, unfortunately. The plan is to have an example flowgraph showing how the block might be used, for every block, and the flowgraphs will live in the git repo.
