Probability of Symbol Error for Coherent and Non-Coherent Detection of M-ary Frequency-Shift Keyed (MFSK) Signals Affected by Co-Channel Interference and Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) in a Fading Channel

Abstract

The probability of symbol error for coherent and non-coherent detection of M-ary frequency-shift keyed (MFSK) signals affected by other interfering MFSK signals (co-channel interference) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in a fading channel (Rayleigh and Rician models) is quantified in this thesis. First, theoretical expressions are derived for the symbol error probability as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio SNR and the signal-to-interference/jamming ratio SJR. Next, using SIMULINK and the MATLAB/SIMULINK Communications Toolbox, we develop models to determine the symbol error probability for Monte Carlo type simulations. Finally, we compare the theoretical symbol error probabilities with the simulation's results and identify the differences and their possible causes.
