Abstract
The performance analysis of a differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) communications system, operating in a Rayleigh fading environment, employing convolutional coding and diversity processing is presented. The receiver is the conventional square-law DPSK receiver using soft-decision convolutional decoding. The computationally efficient union bound technique is utilized to evaluate the system performance. The coded and uncoded system performances of various diversity combining techniques are evaluated and compared. The combining techniques considered include equal gain combining (EGC), selection combining (SC), and a generalization of SC, whereby two or three signals with the two or three largest amplitudes are noncoherently combined. This generalized method is called second or third order SC and denoted as SC2 or SC3, respectively. Numerical results indicate that coded systems with SC2 and SC3 techniques significantly enhance the bit-error rate (BER) performance relative to that achievable with SC
