On the Use of Padé Approximation for Performance Evaluation of Maximal Ratio Combining Diversity over Weibull Fading Channels

<p>We use the Padé approximation (PA) technique to obtain closed-form approximate expressions for the moment-generating function (MGF) of the Weibull random variable. Unlike previously obtained closed-form exact expressions for the MGF, which are relatively complicated as being given in terms...
