Bit-error rate simulation for frequency-hopped multiple-access systems over fading channels by Le, Thi Ngoc Anh.

“…In this report, bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a fast frequency-hopped binary frequency-shift-keying (FFH/BFSK) system using diversity-combining over multiple-access interference (MAI), partial-band jamming (PBJ), additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels is presented. Five diversity-combining methods utilized in BER simulation to counter MAI and PBJ effects are square-law linear combining, product combining, hard-decision majority-vote (HDMV), self-normalizing and clipper receivers.…”
