Abstract

This letter presents equations which describe an average weighted spectrum of errors and average block-error probabilities for noncoherent frequency-shift keying (NCFSK) used in D-branch maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity in independent very slow nonselective Nakagami-fading channels. The average is formed over the instantaneous receiver signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) after combining. The analysis is limited to additive Gaussian noise
