Abstract :
Performance of a dual maximal ratio combining receiver has been analyzed in correlated Hoyt fading channels. Analytical expressions for the probability density function of the receiver output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), average SNR, outage probability and average bit error rate performance for binary, coherent and non-coherent modulations have been presented. Numerical results show that for coherent phase shit-keying and differential phase shift-keying modulations, to achieve an ABER of 10-7, the required excess SNR is relatively small for correlation coefficient (rho) less than 0.5 than it is for rho > 0.5.
