Abstract

Presents exact and approximate analytical expressions for the error probabilities for communications systems with PSK and non-coherent FSK modulation schemes. The authors model their system with correlated, flat-fading Rayleigh channels with additive white Gaussian noise. The solutions hold for M-ary signaling, L-order diversity, and a correlation of ρ
