Abstract

Maximum-likelihood diversity combining is investigated for an FFH/MFSK spread spectrum system in partial-band noise (PBN). The structure of maximum-likelihood diversity reception in PBN plus white Gaussian noise is derived. It is shown that signal-to-noise ratio and the noise variance at each hop have to be known to implement this optimum diversity combiner. Several suboptimum diversity combining schemes are also considered. The performance of the optimum combining scheme is evaluated. It is shown that adaptive gain control diversity combining actually achieves the optimum performance when interference is not very weak
