Coherent multichannel reception of binary modulated signals with independent Rician fading

A novel technique to calculate the BER of a q-branch coherent receiver is described. The assumed system consists of an antipodal binary-modulated transmitted signal, with independent Rician fading on each received branch. The method allows simplification of a (q+1)-dimensional integral down to a 1-d...

Description
Summary:A novel technique to calculate the BER of a q-branch coherent receiver is described. The assumed system consists of an antipodal binary-modulated transmitted signal, with independent Rician fading on each received branch. The method allows simplification of a (q+1)-dimensional integral down to a 1-dimensional integral (Id), which is readily amenable to numerical evaluation.
