Abstract

In this letter, we analyze the expected value of the channel energy capture as a function of the integration interval of the correlator in a transmitted reference system. A modified Saleh-Valenzuela channel model is employed. We observe that for the system specifications (such as channel model, data rate, and signal-to-noise ratio) considered here, an integration interval that captures approximately 84%-89% of the expected value of the channel energy provides a bit-error probability close to the minimum one.
