Performance of differentially coherent digital communications over frequency-selective fading channels

The performance of binary differential phase-shift keyed (DPSK) communications over frequency-selective wide-sense-stationary uncorrelated-scattering fading channels is considered. A technique is described for obtaining bounds on the average error probability for DPSK in terms of one or two parameters obtained from multipath spread or frequency-correlation-function channel measurements. A method of approximating the performance of systems using various data-pulse shapes and systems where it is difficult to obtain a complete channel characterization is developed. Numerical examples and comparisons of the most interesting cases are given. >
