Maximum-Likelihood FFH/MFSK Receiver over Rayleigh-Fading Channels with Composite Effects of MTJ and PBNJ

A maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver structure is proposed for fast frequency-hopped M-ary frequency-shift keying communication systems over Rayleigh-fading channels with the composite effects of multitone jamming (MTJ) and partial-band noise jamming (PBNJ). The corresponding semi-analytical bit-error rate (BER) expressions of the proposed ML receiver are also presented and validated by simulation results. Numerical results show that the BER performance with both MTJ and PBNJ is bounded by the two extreme cases, where only MTJ or PBNJ is present. It is also found that the proposed ML receiver can better counteract MTJ than PBNJ.
