Additional information

This paper was awarded the H.A. Wheeler Prize for best applications journal paper in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation during 2009. It is considered a seminal paper for the modelling of spatial diversity in off-body communications. It presents a novel method of simulating the output of an M-branch diversity combiner which is subject to Nakagami fading conditions. This new simulation method can be applied to any system which employs selection combination, equal gain combining or maximal ratio combining. It has leveraged additional research funding to extend the work through a joint EPSRC/RAEng Research Fellowship (EP/H044191/1, £557.2k)
