    The argument that a non-coherent receiver can achieve capacity in a infinite bandwith multipath fading channel is attributed to Kennedy:
      R. Kennedy, Fading Dispersive Communication Channels, Wiley, 1969.
    A nice discussion of this result can be found in Section 8.6 of :
      R. Gallager, Information Theory and Reliable Communication, Wiley, 1968.
    The argument presented in class is based on a proof in:
      I. Telatar and D. Tse, "Capacity and mutual information of wideband multipath fading channels," IEEE Trans. on Information Theory, Vol. 46, July 2000.
    The effect of signal burstiness on the infinite bandwidth capacity is discussed in the above paper by Telatar and Tse as well as:

    Section 3.4.2 of the notes by Tse and Viswanath discuss the Rake receiver for a wideband DS-CDMA system.
