Lec 6

The document discusses the behavior of digital communication systems in the presence of noise, focusing on calculating the probability of error for coherent digital modulations. It outlines methods for expressing digital signals, drawing constellation diagrams, and calculating error rates. Key concepts include matched filters, sources of errors, and the importance of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

The method to obtain the probability of error of coherent digital modulations
is as follows:
We express the digital signal as a linear combination of orthonormal waveforms and then we draw
the signal vectors (or constellation diagram) as a function of these orthonormal waveforms and then
calculate the distance between the vector points as described before.
