Abstract:
In this paper, the wireless system with maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity receiver operating over independent identical k-µ multipath fading environment is analyzed. The closed form expression for average level crossing rate of MRC receiver output signal is delivered. The average level crossing rate is calculated as value of the first derivative of MRC receiver output signal envelope. The obtained expression can be used for evaluation of average fade duration of proposed wireless system. Numerical results are presented graphically to show influence of k-µ multipath fading parameters on average level crossing rate (LCR) of considered MRC receiver output signal.
