Abstract

Using a series approach, expressions for the average symbol error probability (SEP) of coherent binary signals over a correlated Rayleigh fading channel with dual predetection equal gain combining (EGC) and selection diversity (SD) are derived. For both EGC and SD cases, the SEP is in terms of the correlation coefficient of the branch amplitudes, which is easy to compute and depicts clearly the effect of correlated fading on the error performance
