Email: [email protected]

Problem 1
Suppose that two signal waveforms s1 (t) and s2 (t) are orthogonal over the interval (0, T ). A sample function
n(t) of a zero-mean, white noise process is crosscorrelated with s1 (t), and s2 (t), to yield
RT
n1 = 0 s1 (t)n(t)dt
RT
n2 = 0
s2 (t)n(t)dt

Prove that E(n1 n2 ) = 0.

Problem 2
A binary PAM communication system employs rectangular pulses of duration Tb and amplitudes ±A to
transmit digital information at a rate Rb = 105 bps. If the power-spectral density of the additive Gaussian
noise is N0 /2, where N0 = 10−2 W/Hz, determine the value of A that is required to achieve a probability of
error P b = 10−6

Problem 3
In on-off keying of a carrier-modulated signal, the two possible signals are
s0 (t) = q
0, 0 ≤ t ≤ Tb
2Eb
s1 (t) = Tb cos 2πfc t, 0 ≤ t ≤ Tb

The corresponding received signals are


r0 (t) = n
q0 (t), 0 ≤ t ≤ Tb
2Eb
r1 (t) = Tb cos(2πfc t + ϕ) + n1 (t), 0 ≤ t ≤ Tb

where ϕ is the carrier phase and n0 (t), n1 (t) are AWGN with variance σ02 , σ12 respectively (σ02 < σ12 ). Consider
coherent receiver (ϕ = 0)
1. Determine the probability density functions for the two possible decision variables at the detector
corresponding to the two possible received signals.
2. Determine the optimal threshold if signals are equiprobable.

3. Derive the probability of error for the detector.

Problem 4
A binary PAM communication system is used to transmit data over an AWGN channel. The prior proba-
bilities for the bits are P (am = 1) = p and P (am = −1) = q.
1. Determine the optimum threshold at the detector.
2. Determine the average probability of error.

Problem 5
Three messages m1 , m2 , and m3 are to be transmitted over an additive white random channel and The
noise probability density function (PDF) for m1 is Laplacian with variance σ 2 , while for m2 , and m3 , it is
