Mathematical Draft
The BER is the likelihood of a bit misinterpretation due to electrical noise . Considering a bipolar NRZ transmission, we have
for a "1" and for a "0". Each of and has a period of .
Knowing that the noise has a bilateral spectral density ,
is
and is .
Returning to BER, we have the likelihood of a bit misinterpretation .
and
where is the threshold of decision, set to 0 when .
We can use the average energy of the signal to find the final expression :
±§

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or draft:
“What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
