  • Abstract
    A new expression is derived for the exact average symbol error probability for optimum combining with M-ary phase-shift keying. The expression adds to the significant body of work in this field by handling interferers with arbitrary power levels. The expression involves a single integral with finite limits and finite integrand. A closed-form expression is also derived for the average symbol error probability for binary phase-shift keying.
