Abstract :
The multipath communication channel for space communication is modeled as a multiplicative channel. This paper discusses the effects of the multiplicative channel processes on the symbol error rate for quadrature modulation (QM) digital modulation schemes. An expression for the upper bound on the probability of error is derived and numerically evaluated. The results are compared with those obtained for additive channels.
