  • Abstract
    Plots of performance degradation are used to compare the effects of fading and intersymbol interference in a two- component specular multipath digital communications channel. Similar plots are then used to compare two practical receivers designed to combat the interference. Degradation plots are shown to allow easy identification of each receiver´s range of usefulness, as well as identification of variance bounds demanded of channel parameter estimates which the receivers require.
