⦁ Suppose that binary PSK is used for transmitting information over an AWGN with a PSD of
𝑁0/2 = 1 × 10−10W/Hz. The transmitted signal energy is 𝐸𝑏 = 1/2𝐴2𝑇, where T is the bit interval
and A is the signal amplitude. Determine the signal amplitude required to achieve an error
probability of 10−6,when the data rate is a) 10 kbits/s,b) 100 kbits/s,and c)1 Mbits/s
⦁ Solution:
b) If the value of received average signal power is adjusted to be 10 −6 W will, this received power
be adequate to maintain the error probability found in part (a)?
b) If the value of received average signal power is adjusted to be 10 −6 W will, this received power
