A, 0 t / 2
respectively, where s1 (t ) = and 𝑠2 (𝑡) = 𝑐 ⋅ 𝐴, 0 ≤ 𝑡 < 𝜏. The system operates on an
0, / 2 t
AWGN channel, and the optimal receiver is adopted. The BER with c=0 is found to be 10-3.
1. Sketch and label the optimal receiver structure for 𝑐 = 1/2. (10 marks)
2. Determine the BER when 𝑐 = −1/2. (10 marks)
3. Suppose that −1 ≤ 𝑐 ≤ 1. What is the optimal value of c to minimize the BER? (8 marks)
4. Suppose that c=1. If we use s1' (t ) = s1 (t ) cos(2 f ct ) and s2' (t ) = s2 (t ) sin(2 f c t ) to represent bits
“1” and “0”, respectively, where the carrier frequency fc is an integer multiple of 1/, what is the
optimal BER? (8 marks)
