SEP Analysis of 1-Bit Quantized SIMO Systems with QPSK over Fading Channels
Abstract
The average symbol error probability (SEP) of a 1-bit quantized single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system is analyzed under Rayleigh fading channels and quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation. Previous studies have partially characterized the diversity gain for selection combining (SC). In this paper, leveraging a novel analytical method, an exact analytical SEP expression is derived for a 1-bit quantized SIMO system employing QPSK modulation at the transmitter and maximum ratio combining (MRC) at the receiver. The corresponding diversity and coding gains of a SIMO-MRC system are also determined. Furthermore, the diversity and coding gains of a 1-bit quantized SIMO-SC system are quantified for an arbitrary number of receive antennas, thereby extending and complementing prior results.
