BER and outage probability for landmobile satellite channel with maximalratio combining

Abstract
An exact analytical technique is presented for computing the average bit error rate (BER) and outage probability of dilferentially detected PSK in the land mobile satellite channel (LMSC) when L branch maximal ratio combining (MRC) is employed. Following a previous empirical study, the LMSC is modelled as a weighted sum of Rice and Suzuki distributions. Numerical results are provided.
