The performance of FHSS BFSK systems with limiter-squarer detectors in impulsive noise environment

Abstract

The noncoherent reception performance of frequency hopping spread spectrum communication systems operated in channels with impulsive noise and selective fading is investigated. Binary frequency shift keying modulation and noncoherent demodulation are assumed and limiter-squarer detectors are used to detect signals. The bit error rates are obtained as functions of channel and system parameters, in the multi-hopping and multi-user synchronous multiple access case.
