Abstract :
This paper proposes a novel method for performance analysis of diversity reception with two correlated Rayleigh-fading signals. Based upon a transformation technique, two correlated Rayleigh-fading signals can be converted into two independent Rayleigh-fading signals. The performance of the diversity reception can be easily evaluated by analyzing the two independent Rayleigh-fading signals. The presented examples, performance analysis of maximal ratio combining (MRC), selection combining (SC), and equal gain combining (EGC) diversity reception with correlated Rayleigh-fading signals, show that the proposed approach is simple and effective
