Abstract :
An exact expression is found for the probability of bit error of an FHSS-BFSK (frequency-hopping spread-spectrum/binary-frequency-shift-keying) multiple-access system in the presence of slow, nonselective, `single-term´ Rician fading. The effects of multiple-access interference and/or continuous tone jamming are considered. Comparisons are made between the error expressions developed here and previously published upper bounds. It is found that under certain channel conditions the upper bounds on the probability of bit error may exceed the actual probability of error by an order of magnitude
