Multiple receiving antennas with single transmitting antenna are considered with slow and fast fading. Performance results are evaluated for a number of receive antennas and the improvement in receiver performance is evaluated at a specific error probability (10-8 and 10-9). It is found that diversity offers a significant improvement in the receiver sensitivity for both the cases of fast and slow fading.48 pagesBRAC University thesis are protected by copyright.
