Block Error Performance of Noncoherent FSK Modulation on Rayleigh Fading Channels
B.H. Maranda, Cyril Leung · IRE Transactions on Communications Systems · 1984
In this paper, the calculation of the probabilityP_{f}(M, N)of more thanMbit errors in a block ofNbits transmitted over a Rayleigh fading channel using noncoherent frequency shift keying is considered. Accurate approximations toP_{f}(M, N)are derived under the assumption of very slow fading. Approximations are also given when a selection diversity system is used. An application of the results to the calculation of the block error rate when the assumption of very slow fading is relaxed is then discussed.
