Asymptotic performance characteristics for the adaptive coherent multireceiver and noncoherent multireceiver operating through the Rician fading multichannel

Presented in this paper are ideal asymptotic performance characteristics for two types of multireceivers, the coherent adaptive multireceiver and the noncoherent multireceiver. The transmitter, for the system, is one which selects for transmission one of two equiprobable, equal energy correlated waveforms. The selected waveform is transmitted into the Rician fading multichannel with additive Gaussian noise superposed at the receiver end. The multichannel may take on one of four forms, i.e., it may change from one of a completely random nature to that of a completely fixed nature. All intermediate forms are permissible.
