Correlation effects of frequency hopping diversity systems in indoor mobile communications environments

Frequency-hopping (FH) techniques in conjunction with coding have been proposed for indoor radio systems because FH behaves as an intrinsic frequency diversity technique. The performance of FH-BPSK is assessed for situations not previously considered in the literature. In particular, the effects of having a nonnull correlation coefficient in the frequency separation function and the presence of coding schemes are considered.<
