Performance analysis of dual diversity over correlated Ricean fading channels

The results given in this paper emphasize another advantage of the presented analytical model for signal decorrelation. It is in the fact that it covers various communication scenarios. Putting correlation coefficient p=0, this model further simplifies to known case of dual diversity with uncorrelated Ricean fading channels. For Ricean K factor K=0, the presented model reduces to well known Rayleigh fading case. It also enables analysis of dual diversity system in the case when average SNRs per diversity branch are not equal.
