Abstract :
Postdetection combining has been analysed together with fully differential 16-APSK (16-DAPSK) as a potential method for improving digital transmission in a frequency nonselective Rayleigh fading channel. Results are presented for the theoretical and computer simulated BER performance both with and without the use of diversity combining in the receiver.
