Abstract
The effects of fading on the error-rate performance of a multihop line-of-sight PCM radio system, operated with or without diversity, are theoretically analyzed. A set of approximate formulas for the distribution of error probability has been established. These formulas can be used to determine the necessary carrier-to-noise power ratio in a noncoherent frequency-shift keying or coherent phase-shift keying system in order to meet the specified error probability and percent outage time.
