Abstract
This paper presents the detector design and symbol error rate (SER) analysis of M-Ary amplitude shift keying over multipath fading channels using amplitude-coherent detection (ACD). The optimum detector is derived using the maximum likelihood criterion, and then it is used to derive two efficient low-complexity suboptimal detectors. The probability distribution function of the decision variables and the SER of the two suboptimal detectors are expressed using simple closed-form analytical formulas when single receiving antenna is used. The SER with receiver diversity is obtained using Monte Carlo simulation. The obtained analytical and simulation results reveal that ACD can provide reliable SER as compared with noncoherent detection. Moreover, we present an efficient blind channel estimation algorithm using ACD and hybrid modulation frame structures.
