Performance analysis for continuous antennas in Rician channels by Smith, PJ, Khordad, E, Senanayake, R, Coon, JP

“…We derive a gamma approximation for the instantaneous received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under a Rician channel with a spatially-correlated non-line-of-sight (NLoS) component. We also derive the mean and an upper bound for achievable rate. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of our approximations across a range of parameters.…”
