Abstract

Non-coherent diversity reception of M-ary FSK (MFSK) signals becomes increasingly important due to its widespread use in wireless communications. Its error performance analysis, however, is not available in the literature except for the simple case using binary modulation. In this paper, we address the problem directly based on the decision variables, ending up with a closed-form solution to the average error probabilities for a general non-coherent MFSK diversity system. The new formula is very general, applicable to various fading channels and permitting arbitrary diversity order, symbol size, channel parameters, and antenna-array covariance matrix.
