Performance analysis of FFH/BFSK product-combining receiver with partial-band jamming over independent Rician fading channels

This study investigates how independent Rician fading channels affect both the fast frequency-hopped binary frequency shift keying (FFH/BFSK) product-combining receiver (PCR) and partial-band jammer (PBJ). We demonstrate that the average bit-error-rate (BER) expressions of FFH/BFSK PCR can be derived with the aid of an approximation by quantizing the product-combiner´s output. Numerical results show that system performance of the FFH/BFSK PCR over fading channels and PBJ is lower than that in nonfaded PBJ at a low signal-to-jammer density ratio E_b/N_J.
