  • Abstract
    In this paper, the calculation of the probability P_{f}(M, N) of more than M bit errors in a block of N bits transmitted over a Rayleigh fading channel using noncoherent frequency shift keying is considered. Accurate approximations to P_{f}(M, N) are derived under the assumption of very slow fading. Approximations are also given when a selection diversity system is used. An application of the results to the calculation of the block error rate when the assumption of very slow fading is relaxed is then discussed.
