An exact performance analysis of an ML detector for a 2-dimensional rotation-transform aided QPSK system operating over an impulsive noise environment is presented using Rieman integrals of a two-dimensional Gaussian Q-function over Voronoi cells. A set of interesting features of the Voronoi cells is also characterised systematically. An optimum rotation angle yielding the minimum BER is also studied. The differences between the proposed exact method and the previous approximate analysis method are investigated in terms of the corresponding BERs and the derived optimum angles.
