Performance of FFH/BFSK AGC receiver over a Nakagami‐fading channel with partial‐band jamming

Abstract

SUMMARYThe bit error rate (BER) performance of a noncoherent fast frequency-hopped binary orthogonal frequencyshift-keying (FFH/BFSK) spread spectrum (SS) receiver with adaptive gain control (AGC) is investigated in the presence of partial-band jamming (PBJ) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) over frequency nonselective slow Nakagami-fading channels. Exact BER expressions in a onefold integral is derived. The effects of arbitrarily values of fading parameter and diversity level on system performance are considered. Numerical results compare the worst-case BER performance of the AGC receiver with that of the product combining (PC) receiver.
