  • Abstract
    Application of the union bound to MFSK signaling on certain channels where probability of bit error varies in an inverse linear fashion with E_{b}/N_{0} can lead to the erroneous conclusion that performance degrades with increasing alphabet size. The anomaly is shown for the worst-case partial band Gaussian interference channel and the Rayleigh fading channel.
