Abstract :
The predetection equal gain combining (EGC) receiver is generally known to have a performance that is close to the maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver while having relatively less implementation complexity. The bit error rate (BER) of an EGC receiver for binary, coherent and noncoherent modulations has been analysed for an independent Weibull fading channel. Numerical results have been compared with the available results for selection combining (SC) and MRC diversity receivers.
