Noise facors or noise figures of differen sysem componens are deermined by heir implemenaion. When adding noise from several sources, remember o conver from he db-scale noise figures ha are usually given, before saring your calculaions. A passive aenuaor in (room emperaure), like a ransmission line, has a noise figure/facor equal o is aenuaion. 5 April 2017 2 1

Wha do we mean by opimal? Every receiver is opimal according o some crierion! We would like o use opimal in he sense ha we achieve a minimal probabiliy of error. In all calculaions, we will assume ha he noise is whie and Gaussian unless oherwise saed.

A firs inuiive approach Look a he received signal and compare i o he possible received noise free signals. Selec he one wih he bes fi. Assume ha he following signal is received: Comparing i o he wo possible noise free received signals: r(), s 1 () r() 1: This seems o be he bes fi. We assume ha 0 was he r(), s 2 () ransmied bi. 0: 5 April 2017 9 Le s make i more measurable To be able o beer measure he fi we look a he energy of he residual (difference) beween received and he possible noise free signals: r(), s 1 () s 1 () - r() 1:!

The AWGN channel The addiive whie Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel s( ) n ( ) r( ) = as( ) + n( ) s( ) a n ( ) r( ) a - ransmied signal - channel aenuaion - whie Gaussian noise - received signal In our digial ransmission sysem, he ransmied signal s() would be one of, le s say M, differen alernaives s 0 (), s 1 (),..., s M-1 (). 5 April 2017 11 The AWGN channel, con. I can be shown ha finding he minimal residual energy (as we did before) is he opimal way of deciding which of s 0 (), s 1 (),..., s M-1 () was ransmied over he AWGN channel (if hey are equally probable). For a received r(), he residual energy e i for each possible ransmied alernaive s i () is calculaed as! " = $ & ' α* " ' +,' = $(& ' α* " ' )(& ' α* " ' ),' = $ & ' +,' 2Re α $& ' * " ',' + α + $ * " ' +,' Same for all i Same for all i, if he ransmied The residual energy is minimized by maximizing his par of he expression. signals are of equal energy. 5 April 2017 12 6
The AWGN channel, con. The cenral par of he comparison of differen signal alernaives is a correlaion, ha can be implemened as a correlaor: r( ) or a mached filer r( ) * si ( ) * i ( - ) s T s!

Orhogonal signals In binary orhogonal signaling, wih equal energy alernaives s 0 () and s 1 () (for 0 and 1 ) we require he propery: The approach here is o use wo correlaors: * s r( 0 ) ( ) $ % &, $ ( & =!$ * & $ ( &,& = 0 * s1 ( )! " #! " # * a * a Compare real par a =T s and decide in favor of he larger. (Only one correlaor is needed, if we correlae wih (s 0 () - s 1 ()) *.) 5 April 2017 15 Inerpreaion in signal space The correlaions performed on he previous slides can be seen as inner producs beween he received signal and a se of basis funcions for a signal space.

E s Re Fundamenal quesion: Wha is he probabiliy ha we end up on he wrong side of he decision boundary? s j This normalizaion of axes implies ha he noise cenered around each alernaive is complex Gaussian ( s 2 ) + j ( s 2 ) N 0, N 0, wih variance σ 2 = N 0 /2 in each direcion. 5 April 2017 17 Pair-wise symbol error probabiliy Wha is he probabiliy of deciding s i if s j was ransmied?

The union bound Calculaion of symbol error probabiliy is simple for wo signals! When we have many signal alernaives, i may be impossible o calculae an exac symbol error rae. s 1 s 2 When s 0 is he ransmied signal, an error occurs when he received signal is ouside his polygon. s 6 s 7 s 5 s 0 s 4 s 3 The UNION BOUND is he sum of all pair-wise error probabiliies, and consiues an upper bound on he symbol error probabiliy. The higher he SNR, he beer he approximaion! 5 April 2017 19 Symbol- and bi-error raes The calculaions so far have discussed he probabiliies of selecing he incorrec signal alernaive (symbol), i.e. he symbol-error rae. When each symbol carries K bis, we need 2 K symbols. Gray coding is used o assigning bis so ha he neares neighbors only differ in one of he K bis. This minimizes he bi-error rae. 010 011 001 110 000 Gray-coded 8PSK 111 101 100 5 April 2017 20 10
