A simple and fast analysis of SNR in non-coherent integrators

In this paper, an approximate analysis for SNR improvement factor in non-coherent integrators for communication channels is introduced. The SNR improvement factor and loss function of the non-coherent integrator are calculated. Our results are very simple and illustrative. Although calculations are with some approximations and therefore the results are not exact, but the error is negligible, as it is shown.
