The Performance of M-ary FH-DPSK in the Presence of Partial-Band Multitone Jamming

Using a geometric approach, the performance of
M
-ary FH-DPSK in the presence of partial-band multitone jamming is evaluated. The optimal jamming strategy is determined as a function of the number of signaling levels
M
and the ensuing results are used to determine worst case bit error probability performance as a function of this same parameter. It is demonstrated that, for
M
=2
^m
, the best performance is obtained for
M
=4.
