Discriminator-MLSE Detection of a GTFM Signal in the Presence of Fast Rayleigh Fading

This paper examines the influence of fast Rayleigh fading and cochannel interference on GTFM with discriminator-MLSE detection using a hardware fading simulator. The degradation in BER performance, due to fading, can be largely recovered by using two-branch selection diversity. The resultant bit error patterns are also presented.
