Performance Comparison of Fast FH-FDMA Systems with Diversity Combining Receivers under Multitone Interferences

摘要

The bit error rate (BER) performance of a fast frequency-hopped frequency division multiple access (FH-FDMA) system is evaluated with diversity combining receivers. The clipper receiver and the normalized envelope detection (NED) receiver which show better performance than other diversity combining receivers under n = 1 band multitone interference (MTI) are chosen as combining alternatives. From simulation results, n = 1 band MTI is the most destructive multitone interference strategy for the FH-FDMA system. As the number of groups increases, eventually becoming a FHMA system, the worst case performance of FH-FDMA with the clipper receiver improves monotonically, while that of the NED receiver hardly improves when the effect of the interference is relatively large. From the viewpoint of BER performance, the FHMA system with the clipper receiver is the most effective solution among the FH-FDMA systems in the presence of the worst case band MTI.
