AJ performance of a family of self-normalized diversity combiners

Abstract

A family of self-normalized diversity combiners, which are generalizations of the self-normalized combiner previously analyzed in the literature, are introduced and their anti-jam (AJ) capabilities assessed in the presence of worst-case tone jamming. It is shown that every combiner in the family performs at least as well as the standard self-normalized combiner, which is one particular member of the family; also, it is shown that as the parameter which defines the family is increased without bound, a combiner with jammer state information (JSI) is essentially realized.
