Abstract :
The error-rate performance of M-ary DPSK signals received over slow Nakagami fading channels for integer fading index is analysed. A relatively simple expression for computation of the error-rate is presented. This expression is extended to obtain the error-rates of DPSK signals for MRC diversity reception in Nakagami fading. Numerical values for the error-rates are presented.
