Abstract:
The expressions for probability density function (PDF) of the Switch and Stay Combiner (SSC) output signal to noise ratio (SNR) at one time instant and the joint probability density function of the SSC combiner output signal to noise ratio at two time instants in the presence of Hoyt fading are determined in this paper Then, these expressions are used for calculation of the bit error rate for complex SSC/MRC (Switch and Stay Combining/Maximal Ratio Combining) combiner versus some parameter values. The results are shown graphically in some figures and the analysis of the parameters influence and different types of combiners is given.
