The Performances of the SSC Combiner Output Signal in the Presence of Nakagami - m Fading

It is notable that level crossing rate, outage probability and average time of fade duration of the combiner output signal are very important system performances. In this paper the level crossing rate, outage probability and fade duration of the SSC combiner output signal in the presence of the Nakagami-m fading are determined. The results are shown graphically for different variance values, decision threshold values and fading parameters values.
