Abstract
The average level crossing rate and average fade duration of the output sig nal envelope of a selection diversity combiner, operating on independent, b ut nonidentical fading input branch signals are derived. The exact closed-f orm results are valid for arbitrary diversity order, and are obtained for R ayleigh, Ricean, and Nakagami fading input signals.
