For combating the fast Rayleigh fading usually encountered in mobile communication channels, convolutional coding and Viterbi decoding together with interleaving and the BPSK system using an orthogonal sounding tone are considered. The bit error probability performance of the system is analysed, and numerical results for the systems with rate-? optimum codes of constraint lengths K = 3 to 7 are also provided.
