Abstract :
Data transmission using M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK) over the nonselective Rayleigh fading channel with diversity reception is considered. While previous studies on error probability mostly assume no fading fluctuation, the author considers, exclusively, the case in which the fading process fluctuates from one symbol interval to the next. Exact bit error probability results for 2, 4, and 8 DPSK as well as tight upper bounds are derived. Some applications of the results are discussed
