Simulation results for an innovative anti-multipath digital receiverSimulation results are presented for the error rate performance of the recursive digital MAP detector for known M-ary signals in multiplicative and additive Gaussian noise. Plots of detection error rate versus additive signal to noise ratio are given, with multipath interference strength as a parameter. For comparison, the error rates of conventional coherent and noncoherent digital MAP detectors are simultaneously simulated and graphed. It is shown that with nonzero multiplicative noise, the error rates of the conventional detectors saturate at an irreducible level as additive signal to noise ratio increases. The error rate for the innovative detector continues to decrease rapidly with increasing additive signal to noise ratio. In the absence of multiplicative interference, the conventional coherent detector and the innovative detector are shown to exhibit identical performance.-
