Abstract

Error rates for a narrowband digital FM system with discriminator detection in a land mobile radio channel characterized by fading and Doppler frequency shift are obtained using a new analytical method. The fading rate is assumed to be much slower than the bit rate so that signal distortion through a narrow bandpass filter can be analyzed via a quasistatic approach. An experiment was conducted using a Rayleigh fading simulator, and the error rate measurements are shown to agree well with the calculated results, except at high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) where an irreducible error rate was observed
