| Abstract | We give a tight approximation for the bit-error rate (BER) of decision-feedback differential detection (DF-DD). The influence of error propagation is modeled by a Markov chain. A simple state reduction method is proposed to limit computational complexity. Our results show that error propagation strongly depends on the chosen feedback filter. In particular, the popular assumption that error propagation increases BER by a factor of two is not always justified. |
