Abstract
The switching rate of a correlated dual branch selection diversity combiner in Rayleigh and Rician fading is derived in noise-free conditions. Balanced and unbalanced branches are considered. Numerical results are presented for a space-diversity system with horizontally spaced omnidirectional antennas at a mobile station.
