摘要
Exact, closed-form, error probability expressions for noncoherent M-ary frequency-shift-keying (MFSK) systems that employ postdetection equal-gain diversity over Rayleigh, Rician, and Nakagami-m channels are derived using a Laplace derivative formula. Both independent and genetically correlated fading cases are considered. For independent fading, closed-form solutions are also derived for both Nakagami-q fading (either with identical or dissimilar fading statistics) and mixed fading cases. Previous results are shown to be specific instances of our general expressions. In addition, a concise, derivative formula is derived for calculating the bit error rate of square-law detected multichannel binary differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK) signals. All of these expressions are applicable in many cases of practical interest and provide accurate predictions of the performance of both binary and M-ary orthogonal signaling over generalized fading channels with arbitrary parameters.
