Abstract
The symbol error rates of several modulation schemes are obtained in a novel and unified manner for mobile radio receivers employing dual-branch equal-gain combining, where the Nakagami-m distributed received signals are correlated and can have unequal fading powers. In addition, a generalisation of an earlier result is presented for the special case of equal powers.
