摘要
In this paper, a closed-form expression for the probability of error in a coherent BPSK system over Generalized Rayleigh fading channels is derived. An L-branch equal gain combining diversity scheme is used. Theoretical results for the probability of error are plotted for various values of the number of degrees of freedom (n) and diversity order (L). A simulation is performed and the simulated results are found to match very well with the theoretical results. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
