Abstract
Spatial diversity is an attractive technology for coping with the fading channels encountered in mobile communications. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) is analyzed theoretically for diversity reception with a RAKE receiver in a Nakagami fading environment using either selection or maximal ratio combining. A coherent binary phase-shift keying (CBPSK) direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system is considered. An arbitrary branch correlation is also considered for any diversity order in the case of identical fading severity on the branches.
