摘要
The probability of error of a general equal-gain combiner (EG) in closed form is not available in the literature, In this letter, by formulating the problem in the framework of signal detection and evaluating the probability of error directly from the characteristic function (CF) of the signal at the combiner output, we obtain closed-form solutions for the probability of error of the EG combiner with two or three branches operating over a Rayleigh-fading channel.
