| Abstract: | The bit error probability (BEP) for coherent detection of binary signals with dual-diversity predetection equal gain combining is derived using the Beaulieu (1991) series. In particular, we consider a correlated Rayleigh fading channel with unequal branch signal-to-noise ratios. The BEP expression is in terms of the power correlation coefficient of the branches, is easy to compute, and depicts clearly the effect of correlated fading on the error performance. |
