Error rate prediction in binary FSK communication systems subjected to impulsive noise: an extended second-order technique

A previously developed technique for sampling FSK receivers has been extended so that it is applicable for average pulse rates up to several hundred per second when the pulse strengths are Rayleigh distributed. Laboratory tests have shown good agreement between predictions and measurements, and there are indications that the predictions based on an assumed Rayleigh distribution may be useful, as a guide, in some other cases.
