Abstract :
Lower and upper bound expressions for the penalty of hybrid diversity used with any two-dimensional (2-D) signaling constellation with polygonal decision regions are derived. Using these bounds with well-known results for maximal ratio combining, the error probability performance of 2-D signaling with hybrid selection/maximal ratio combining can be approximated to a high accuracy.
