a spectrally efficient communications system is introduced
i.e.
the OFDM-FH communications system with PSK modulation scheme. In order to improve the system performance in fading channel
the maximum ratio-combining (MRC) diversity receiver is applied. Based on characteristic function method
the symbol error rate (SER) performance of the system is derived in additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading channels. The numerical results first indicate the relationship between SER and the parameters such as the size of frequency slots set
the number of OFDM subcarriers and the number of users. By the numerical and simulation results
the frequency resource of the proposed system is saved and the SER is decreased
in compared with other similar OFDM-FH communications systems.
