Abstract

An extremely tight upper bound symbol error probability is developed for M-DPSK over a Rician channel incorporating the effects of AWGN, Doppler spread and fixed Doppler shift (for the line-of-sight component). In addition, the error probability has also been determined in the above channels with the use of post-detection diversity combining. The bounds are shown to be in excellent agreement with the exact solutions produced by previous authors using numerical computation techniques for both the Rician and Rayleigh fading channel. For the case of AWGN channels, the bound reduces to that published elsewhere in the literature
