Performance of M ‐EGC receiver over TWDP fading channels

Abstract

This study gives a general bit-error rate expression, using Gil-Palaez lemma-based approach, of a M branch equal gain combining (EGC) receiver over two-wave diffused power (TWDP) fading channels. The expressions obtained are evaluated numerically and the results are verified using Monte Carlo simulation. Also the impact of the fading parameters δ and K on the performance of M branch-EGC has been analysed.
