Abstract

Expressions are derived for the average probability of block error <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">P_{f}(M, N)</tex> , i.e., the probability of more than <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">M</tex> errors in a block of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">N</tex> symbols. The average is formed over the inatantaneous receiver signal-to-noise ratio after combining. Binary frequency-shift keying with noncoherent detection is transmitted over a very slow nonselective Rayleigh fading channel and received in additive Gaussian noise. Diversity is used and the branch fading is assumed independent. Formulas for <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">P_{f}(M, N)</tex> are derived for both ideal selection combining and maximal ratio combining.
