Digital Transmission over Wireless Fading Channels: Useful Approach for Performance Analysis

This book analyzes the error rates of a variety of wireless digital techniques over fading channels with particular emphasis on the DPSK systems. This work leads to a useful framework to analyze the error rates of digital techniques over fading channels, and the proposal of a reduced-complexity and low-cost MIMO system for wireless communications. The analysis also simplifies and generalizes the previous results of the error rates of wireless communication techniques over independent and correlated fading channels without resorting to approximations. In addition to that, the impact of carrier synchronization on the performance of coherent digital communication systems is investigated. From practical point of view, this research study is expected to be helpful in the design of the practical radio communication receivers.
