Consider a system in which the average normalized power at t
Solution
1 C o h e r e n t B i n a r y P S K • In a coherent binary PSK system, the pair of signals, s1(t) and s2(t), used to represent binary symbols 1 and 0, respectively, are defined by where 0 t < Tb and Eb is the transmitted signal energy per hit. • In order to ensure that each transmitted bit contains an integral number of cycles of the carrier wave, the carrier frequency fc = nc /Tb for some fixed integer nc . • A pair of sinusoidal waves that differ only in a relative phaseshift of 180 degrees, as defined above, are referred to as antipodal signals.
• A coherent binary PSK system is therefore characterized by having a signal space that is one-dimensional (i.e., N = 1) and with two message points (i.e., M = 2). The coordinates of the message points equal
