Abstract:
The second order statistics, such as average level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD), for dual branch SSC/SC combiner output signals in the presence of Rician fading, are determined in this paper by using earlier obtained closed-form expressions for probability density functions (PDFs) of derivatives at two time instants. The results are graphically presented in some figures versus some parameters values. The analysis of the parameters influence and different types of combiners is given.
