Abstract

Based on the theoretical method developed by Clark and Greenstein for frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel, we develop a general model for frequency-selective Nakagami fading channel. We derive analytical expressions of the average bit-error-rate in an ideal space diversity mobile radio receiver using the matched filter bound. Our simulation results show that the influences of the diversity order, the shape of the multipath delay profile, and delay spread of the multipath delay profile. Five shapes are considered in our simulation. Our simulation results highlight the importance of the ratio the normalized delay spread d. The results show that the delay profile is of no importance for $d<0.3,$ but can have a profound influence for $d\geq0.3.$
