Abstract :
A general closed-form expression of the exact bit error rate (BER) for an arbitrary rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (R-QAM) with Gray code mapping is derived and analysed under an additive white Gaussian noise channel. A discussion of BER performance for maximum ratio combining diversity in Nakagami fading is also presented
