Abstract
The effect of noise on the switching rate of a dual branch selection diversity combiner in noisy fading channels is examined. A closed-form solution is derived for independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) and independent and nonidentically distributed (i.n.d.) fading channels. The switching rate in noisy fading channels is compared to that in noise-free conditions.
