Abstract

Using a linear-exponential upper bound for the cumulative normal distribution originally published by W. F. McGee (IEEE Trans. Comm., July 173, p.862), a tight upper bound for the average BEP (bit-error probability) of a coherent bipolar-phase-shift-keyed (BPSK) system operating in the presence of N interfering sine-wave signals is derived. The bound is expressible in a simple closed form involving exponential, cumulative normal, and modified Bessel function, and a simple application is shown. Extensions to coherent M-QAM and higher-order PSK system are indicated, and an application to a 16-QAM system is given
