Abstract

This paper provides a new formulation for the pair-wise error probability for any coherently demodulated system in flat Rayleigh fading. The novelty of the result is that the resulting error rate expression is a polynomial function of the eigenvalues of a `signal´ matrix. This view also enables a simple new asymptotically tight bound on the pair-wise error probability. Examples of single and multiple transmit antenna systems are considered
