The classical probability density function (PDF) based approach is used for analysis. Expressions for outage probability and average symbol error performance for M-ary coherent and non-coherent modulations have been obtained. The obtained results are verified against the special case published results and found to be matching. The effect of the unequal fading parameters, branch correlation and unequal input average SNR on the receiver performance has been studied.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {3}, year = {2011}, pages = {292 - 295}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10593}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/51}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 51, 2011}, }
