Problem 1
Consider the following modulation system
and
for
where
The channel is ideal with Gaussian noise which is
for all
,
wide sense stationary with
for all
.
Consider the following receiver structure
a) Find the optimum value of the threshold for the
system (
e.g. ,
that minimizes the
).
Assume that
b) Find the error probability when this threshold is used.
Problem 2
Consider a PAM system where symbols
,
,
,
are transmitted where
.
The transmitted signal is
where
is a rectangular pulse of duration
and height of 1. Assume that
we have a channel with impulse response
which is a rectangular pulse of duration
and height 1, with white
Gaussian noise with
for all
.
a) Draw a typical sample path (realization) of
and of the received signal
(do not forget to add a bit of noise!)
b) Assume that the receiver knows
.
Design a matched filter for this transmission system.
c) Draw a typical sample path of
,
the output of the matched filter (do not forget to add a bit ofnoise!)
