Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, performance analysis of Optimum and Sub-optimum diversity combining receivers over generalized fading channels modeled by the three parameter Generic-Gamma model is presented. The Generic-Gamma model is versatile enough to represent short term fading such as Weibull, Nakagami-m or Rayleigh as well as shadowing. The performance measures such as amount of fading, average bit error rate, and signal outage are considered for analysis. With the aid of Moment Generating Function (MGF) approach and Pade approximation (PA) technique outage probability and Average bit error rate have been evaluated for a variety of modulation formats. PA technique has been used to derive simple-to-evaluate compact rational expressions for the MGF of output SNR. Using these novel rational expressions, the performance of multichannel receivers employing diversity combining under a range of representative channel fading conditions have been evaluated. The results have been validated through simulations which shows perfect match.
