Performance of 2D-RAKE receiver in an arbitrarily correlated frequency-selective Nakagami fading

The bit error rate (BER) performance and characteristics of a 2D-RAKE receiver, operating in a correlated frequency-selective Nakagami fading, are analyzed. The analyses assume correlated fading between array elements whose fading statistics are identical in the same RAKE branch. And an arbitrary number of RAKE branches with arbitrary fading statistics is assumed.
