Performance of a Transmitter Diversity MSK Mobile Radio System with Two Bit Differential Detection

The error rate performance of a transmitter diversity using frequency offset MSK signals and 2 bit differential detection in land mobile radio communication systems is derived under the general conditions of additive Gaussian noise, cochannel interference and fast Rayleigh fading. Numerical results and useful design curves are presented for cases of practical interest and compared with the case of no diversity. Transmitter diversity can be used in the base stations when simplicity is required in the receiver at the mobile units.
