This study gives a general bit‐error rate expression, using Gil‐Palaez lemma‐based approach, of a M branch equal gain combining (EGC) receiver over two‐wave diffused power (TWDP) fading channels. The expressions obtained are evaluated numerically and the results are verified using Monte Carlo simulation. Also the impact of the fading parameters δ and K on the performance of M branch‐EGC has been analysed.
