Abstract:
The level crossing rate, the outage probability, the average time of fade duration and the bit error rate of the Switch and Stay Combiner (SSC) output signal, in the presence of Rice fading at the input, are determined in this paper. The results are shown graphically for different variance values, decision threshold values and signal and fading parameters values.
