Significance of Numerical Integration in Performance Analysis of Modulation Techniques

In this paper numerical integration techniques are used to derive an approximation to Q(a root gamma)Q(b root gamma). Further this approximation is used to solve the symbol error probability (SEP) integral containing Q(a root gamma)Q(b root gamma) over various fading distributions. The accuracy of proposed approximation and solution to SEP integral are verified using computer simulations and in-built functions in MATLAB.
