Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this paper, the performance of a multicarrier frequency-hopping/binary frequencyshift
keying (MC-FH/BFSK) system with jamming is evaluated. The communication
channel is assumed to be Rayleigh fading channel. The considered types of jamming
are partial band and broadband jamming. A closed-form expression of the average
probability of error due to jamming is obtained. It is found that a smart jammer should
be present in all subbands of the MC-FH/BFSK system in order to be effective. Also,
a performance comparison between MC-FH/BFSK and single carrier FH/BFSK
systems is presented. It is found that, the performance of MC-FH/BFSK under
jamming is better than the performance of FH/BFSK.
