Performance of Combining techniques using Rotated PSK Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Abstract

In this paper, improvements in Symbol Error Probability (SEP) / Bit error Probability (BEP) performance of rotated Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation using receive antenna diversity (combining) techniques are studied over frequency nonselective Nakagami-m slowly fading channels. Optimum rotation angles are obtained by the simulations. Effects of the rotation of signal consellations on the Combining Techniques (CT) are studied.
