Description
Summary:Novel infinite series based expressions for the bivariate Hoyt distribution are derived. More specifically, expressions for the joint probability density function (JPDF) and the joint cumulative distribution function (JCDF) of two Hoyt fading envelopes are derived, and proposed for use in performance analyses of dual-branch diversity receivers operating over correlated Hoyt fading channels. Using these reasonably simple and mathematically tractable expressions, we evaluate the performance of a dual-branch selection combining (SC) diversity receiver in terms of the outage probability (P out ) and the average bit error probability (ABEP) criteria. The ABEP performance is evaluated for binary differential phase-shift-keying (BDPSK) and binary non-coherent frequency-shift keying (BNFSK) modulation schemes.
