Abstract

An analytical technique based on Gram-Charlier series expansion is presented for the computation of the error probability of equal gain combiner (EGC) with partially coherent fading signals. Detection loss caused by synchronization phase errors is computed for several bit error probability levels. It is shown that the carrier phase precision requirement can be reduced through signal combining
