title = "On the benefit of decorrelation in dual-branch switch-and-stay combining in Rician fading",
abstract = "The performance of a dual-branch decorrelator receiver operating in correlated Rayleigh and Rician fading channels in conjunction with switch-and-stay combining (SSC) is analyzed and compared to the performance of a conventional SSC receiver. Analytical expressions for the average bit error rate (BER) of several modulation techniques of practical interest, the mean output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the outage probability are derived. It is shown that the decorrelator receiver has superior performance over the conventional receiver by as much as 2.83 d B in average SNR. The effects of modulation order, correlation coefficient and the severity of fading on the performance of the decorrelator receiver are studied.",
