Abstract: The Fox's H function distribution has been defined and studied based on a Mellin-Barnes type contour integral [1-3]. In the present work, we provide its definition with convergence region, and some properties that are very useful in manipulating H distributions. It has been extensively applied in statistical theory and some fields of theoretical physics. We investigate application to wireless communication by dealing with the performance analysis of Maximal-Ratio combining technique diversity at the receiver over Weibull multipath fading channels. Theoretical analysis is verified by computer algebra simulations.
