Performance analysis of egc and mrc receivers over fading channels with phase estimation error and co channel interference

Abstract

Signals transmitted through wireless medium undergo several distortion due to various atmospheric effects As a result received several copies of the original signal with random attenuation and phases causes the net received signal strength to fluctuate with time causing fading Fading causes degradation in the performance of communication systems relative to the performance in additive white Gaussian AWGN channels As the fading environment experienced by a mobile user keeps on changing the
