Binary Signal Sets

Equally likely information bits are to be transmitted over an additive, white Gaussian noise channel with spectral height $\frac{N_0}{2}$ using the depicted signal set.

$\begin{picture} (100,50) \setlength {\unitlength}{1mm} \multiput(5,25)(50,0){... ...ine(1,1){20}} \put(75,5){\line(1,1){20}} \put(75,5){\line(0,1){40}}\end{picture}$

1.: Draw the block diagram of the minimum probability of error receiver.
2.: Compute the probability of error attained by this receiver.
3.: Repeat parts (a) and (b) for the following signal set:
$\begin{picture} (100,50) \setlength {\unitlength}{1mm} \multiput(5,25)(50,0){... ...ne(1,-1){20}} \put(75,5){\line(0,1){20}} \put(75,5){\line(1,1){20}}\end{picture}$
4.: Sketch and accurately label the two signal sets in appropriately chosen signal spaces.
5.: Compare the results for the two signal sets and explain.
