Abstract

An approximated closed-form expression of the probability density function has been presented for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the equal gain combining (EGC) 2D-RAKE receiver in a frequency-selective Nakagami fading channels. The bit error rate (BER) and the outage probability have both been evaluated for the receiver in the presence of multiple interferers. The simulation results and the comparison with the maximal ratio combining (MRC) 2D-RAKE receiver are also presented.
