Abstract

It is shown that the degradation in the performance of wideband digital transmission systems due to intersymbol interference can be reduced by utilizing diversity selection using coding. A BCH (31, 21, 5) double-error-correcting code and QPSK (quadrature-phase-shift-keying) modulation with coherent detection are used for this study. The probability of word error is taken to be the measure of system performance. Analytic expressions are derived for the word error probability; these expressions simplify the simulation processes. It is found that a diversity selection algorithm using coding can reduce the floor of word error probability, and hence increase the dynamic range of received power before the word error probability reaches that floor
