Abstract:
1. An evaluation device adapted for providing a transceiver system with performance information thereof, the transceiver system including a transmitter and a number K of receivers, and modeling a channel between the transmitter and each of the receivers using Nakagami distribution with a fading parameter, said evaluation device comprising: a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) setting module operable to set an average SNR for the channel between the transmitter and each of the receivers of the transceiver system; an error rate computing module operable to compute a bit error rate over the channel between the transmitter and each of the receivers, when the fading parameter m is greater than or equal to ½, said error rate computing module being operable to compute the bit error rate P where Q is the average SNR, for a positive integer n, (m+1) j =Γ(m+1+j)/Γ(m+1), for an arbitrary positive number z, and n′ is an arbitrary positive integer; and an output module operable to provide the transceiver system with the average SNR and the bit error rate as the performance information of the transceiver system.
