Abstract :
An often-discussed scheme for providing maximal ratio combining in mobile radio is to set the complex branch gain according to the amplitude and phase of a pilot sent with the carrier. The in-phase component of the branch signal in such a system has a simple doubleexponential distribution. These and other relevant statistics are derived.
