Binary Signal Sets

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


\begin{picture}(100,50) \setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}\multiput(5,25)(50,0){2}{\ve... ...ne(1,0){20}} \put(75,5){\line(0,1){40}} \put(95,5){\line(0,1){20}} \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){2}{\ve... ...ne(1,0){20}} \put(75,5){\line(0,1){20}} \put(95,5){\line(0,1){20}} \end{picture}

  4. Compare the results for the two signal sets and explain.
