Fading path delay
The 20 fading paths are divided in 4 path groups. Each group consists of 3 fine delay
and 2 standard delay paths. A basic delay can be set per path group and an additional
delay per path. The total delay per path is the sum of the basic delay of the respective
group and of the additional delay of the path.
