Study Notes
Baseband Signal Receiver
- Baseband signals represent logic states with voltage levels: +v for logic 1 and -v for logic 0, each for a duration Tb.
- The receiver doesn't need the complete waveform, but rather needs to determine whether the received signal is +v or -v during the Tb period.
- Sampling the received signal at the middle of the Tb period helps determine the transmitted logic state.
- Noise can cause errors in detection as the received signal can deviate from the expected value due to noise.
- A higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N) is essential for reducing the probability of error.
S/N Ratio of Integrator
- Gaussian noise mainly comes from thermal noise, which is caused by the random motion of electrons.
- By integrating the received signal over a specific time period T, the integrator reduces noise and increases the S/N ratio.
- This integration process helps minimize the probability of error in the decision-making process at the receiver.
- The output of the integrator is the sum of the integrated signal (So(T)) and the integrated noise (no(T)).
Probability of Error
- The probability of error (Pe) relates to the likelihood of the receiver making a wrong decision due to noise.
- Pe is calculated using the Gaussian function, where the area under the curve beyond the threshold voltage represents the probability of error.
- Pe can be expressed as a function of the bit energy (ES) and noise (n), with a maximum value of half.
Optimum Filter
- An optimum filter minimizes the probability of error and maximizes the S/N ratio.
- It identifies the transmitted signal (s1(t) or s2(t)) by comparing the received signal to a threshold voltage.
- Noise exceeding the threshold difference between signals can lead to errors.
Transfer Function of Optimum Filter
- The filter's transfer function H(f) determines the relationship between the input and output of the filter in the frequency domain.
- The optimum filter's transfer function can be represented as:
- H(f) = k.$\frac{p*(f)e^{-j2\pi ft}}{G_n(f)}$
- where p(f) is the Fourier transform of the difference between the two signals (p(t) = s1(t) - s2(t)).
- |H(f)|2 represents the amplification of noise at different frequencies.
Matched Filter
- When the input noise is 'white,' meaning having a constant power spectral density (Gn(f) = n2/2), the optimum filter is called a 'matched filter.'
- Matched filters maximize the S/N ratio and provide the best performance in combating white noise.
- The transfer function of a matched filter is:
- H(f) = k.$\frac{p^*(f)e^{-j2\pi ft}}{n^2/2}$
- The impulse response of a matched filter is a time-shifted version of the signal difference, ensuring causality (the output doesn't precede the input).
Probability of Error for Matched Filter (Pe)
- The probability of error for a matched filter can be calculated using the maximum value of the output signal power to noise power ratio:
- $\frac{[p_o(T)]^2}{\sigma^2}$${max} = \int{-\infty}^{\infty}|p(f)|^2df$
- where po(T) is the output signal and σ2 is the noise variance.
- Since the noise is white, the maximum value of the output signal power to noise power ratio simplifies to:
- $\frac{[p_o(T)]^2}{\sigma^2}$${max} = \int{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{|H(f)|^2}{G_n(f)}df$
