Abstract :
An approximated probability density function is presented for the SNR in maximal ratio combining diversity systems with an arbitrary number of diversity branches in an arbitrarily correlated Nakagami fading environment. Comparisons between the exact and approximated distribution show good agreement over wide ranges of correlation coefficients
