Performance analysis of FFH/MFSK receivers with noise-normalisation combining over Nakagami-m fading channels with partial-band jamming

Abstract

The performance of a fast frequency-hopped M-ary orthogonal frequency-shift-keying (FFH/MFSK) receiver with noise-normalisation combining over Nakagami-m fading channels with partial-band noise jamming and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is analysed. Instead of numerical integration, a closed-form error probability expression is obtained. The analytical results validate the simulation results. It is shown that there is an optimum diversity order and the corresponding best-case performance is investigated. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
