Exponential rates for error probabilities in DMPSK systems

Precise analytical asymptotic exponential rates of error, and bounds on those rates, for differential multiplephase-shift keying (DMPSK) systems that include post-detection integration are provided. Easily computed bounds on these rates are provided, both in the case of floor bit error probability (i.e., with no additive noise) and in the case of weak additive noise. The derivation uses the theory of large deviations and illustrates its applicability to the analysis of communications systems.<
