The Effect of Frequency-Selective Fading on a Noncoherent FH-FSK System Operating with Partial-Band Tone Interference

The performance of a binary noncoherent frequency-hopped/frequency-shift-keyed system operating in the presence of partial-band tone interference and transmitted over a frequency-selective Rician fading channel is derived. The probability of error for the system is derived both with and without the use of error-correction coding, and the two cases are compared on the basis of equal information rates and equal spread bandwidths.
