This letter presents a detailed performance analysis of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided single-input single-output communication systems, taking into account of the direct link between the transmitter and receiver. A closed-form upper bound is derived for the ergodic capacity, and an accurate approximation is obtained for the outage probability. In addition, simplified expressions are presented in the asymptotic regime. Numerical results are provided to validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis. It is found that increasing the number of reflecting elements can significantly boost the ergodic capacity and outage probability performance, and a strong line-of-sight component is also beneficial. In addition, it is desirable to deploy the IRS close to the transmitter or receiver, rather than in the middle.
