Abstract:
In this paper, the complex Switch and Stay Combining/Maximal Ratio Combining (SSC/MRC) combiner will be considered. The output signal is observed at two time moments in the presence of Rice fading. Both combiners, SSC such as MRC, are dual branches. The probability density function (PDF) at the output of the complex combiner will be obtained and the bit error rate (BER) for binary phase swift keying (BPSK) modulation will be determined. The results will be shown graphically in some figures. The improvement of using this kind of complex SSC/MRC combiner, with regard to classical MRC and SSC combiners at one time moment, is emphasized.
