Abstract :
A general approach is presented for analyzing the performance of digital signaling with multichannel reception on correlated fading channels. The approach is based on a complex Gaussian model for the joint distribution of the fading on the multiple channels, and previous results on the unified performance analysis of digital signaling on fading channels using an alternative representation of the Q(·) function. Numerical results that illustrate the effect of correlation on the diversity gain from multichannel reception are also presented
