Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the quaternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) signal reception over the composite K_G fading channel in the presence of imperfect reference signal recovery. Two cases are considered: the reception over a single channel and diversity reception. In the case of diversity technique applied, selection combining (SC) and dual branch switched-and-stay combining (SSC) were employed. The simultaneous influences of the imperfect reference signal recovery, composite fading severity and average signal-to-noise ratio in the channel on bit-error rate (BER) performance are determined and discussed.
