Abstract :
The signal-to-noise 
ratio of digital signals can be improved by using diversity transmission, followed by combining at the receive end, resulting in a lower probability of error 
. Second-order combining schemes for data signals are presented in this paper. The effect of delay difference in the two channels of a diversity system is analyzed, using four-phase coherent, phase-shift keying (PSK) as an example. For comparison with predicted performance, experimental results are included.
