| Abstract | An expression for the bit error rate (BER) of noncoherent frequency shift keying (NCFSK) modulation with a non-faded desired signal and a single Rayleigh-faded unsynchronized co-channel interferer (UCCI) is derived. This is used to obtain the BER, Pf, for a Rayleigh-faded desired signal. It is found that Pf is not sensitive to the number, nI of UCCI's. It is shown that the BER with UCCI is smaller than that with synchronized co-channel interference (SCCI). For a Rayleigh-faded desired signal, the difference is about 0.8 dB for large signal-to-interference ratios (SIR). Simulation is used to obtain the block error rate (BKER) with UCCI as a function of nI, number of errors corrected and Doppler frequency. It is found that the BKER with no error correction increases with nI. The BKER with UCCI is generally smaller than that with SCCI. With error correction, the improvement in BKER tends to be larger as nI increases |
