Abstract

A novel non-coherent receiver with diversity reception for binary orthogonal signals in non-identical Nakagami-q (Hoyt) fading channels (channels having arbitrary average fading powers and arbitrary fading parameters) is proposed. A closed-form expression for the average bit error probability of the proposed receiver is derived, which is given in terms of elementary functions, and can be readily evaluated numerically. In addition, the results clarify that the proposed receiver does not incur non-coherent combining loss, and at the same time, lower bounds the performance of the conventional non-coherent equal-gain combining (NC-EGC) receiver. Simulation results are provided to validate the mathematical analysis.
