An analytical expression is derived by using Chernoff approximation for the error probability of the considered system. Then, an asymptotic error expression is also proposed for the considered system. The results obtained from the derived expression are presented in comparison with exact results. Numerical results are shown for different configurations in order to analyze the effects of different values of fading parameter, antenna number and modulation type. In conclusion, it is observed that the approximate results are close to the exact results. © 2020 IEEE.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess-u fadingerror probabilitysingle input multiple output systems.Conference Object10.1109/SIU49456.2020.93023822-s2.0-85097582829N/A
