Abstract

This paper considers a partially coherent detection of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signals in a composite generalized K (KG) fading channel. At the reception the selection combining is applied, while the branches of the combiner are not identically distributed. The extraction of the reference carrier from non-modulated pilot signal is performed in a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit. The difference between received signal phase and extracted reference signal phase is a stochastic variable with Tikhonov probability density function. The influence of the fading parameters, the standard deviation of phase error and the number of diversity branches on the system performance is examined. The bit-error rate is used as a measure of the reception quality. Ill. 6, bibl. 17 (in English; abstracts in English and Lithuanian).
