  • Abstract
    In this letter, we extend the method that has been proposed in the literature for calculating the bit error probability of two-dimensional (2D) RAKE receivers in asynchronous direct sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) over flat, slow Rayleigh fading channels to the case of frequency-selective, slow Rayleigh fading channels. We also compute and plot the lower bound on the performance that can be achieved in the above system.
