The present development details a method and apparatus for performing channel emulation of doubly selective scenarios, where the simulation and emulation duration is arbitrarily long for a stationary or non-stationary channel, with non-separable dispersion which is achieved by combining the techniques of channel orthogonalization, decomposition of the correlation tensor in the Doppler domain into frequency-dependent correlation matrices, followed by a matrix factorization of each of the mentioned matrices and, finally, the use of the windowing method to generate arbitrarily long achievements which thereby allows the concatenation of channel realizations coming from the same or different NSSF, thus achieving reproduction of stationary or non-stationary channels, respectively.
