Error Probability in Digital Communication

This document discusses probability of error in digital communication systems. It begins by describing the binary channel model and how the received signal passes through a matched filter and sampler. The output is compared to a threshold to determine if a 1 or 0 was transmitted. It then derives the probability of error expressions for various signaling schemes like polar, on-off, and bipolar signaling. It gives the expression for binary signaling as the probability the noise exceeds the threshold. Finally, it provides an example calculation.

Probability of Error

Recall the binary channel, the transmitted signal over a


symbol interval (0,T) is:
s1 (t ) 0 t T for a binary 1
si (t )
s2 (t ) 0 t T for a binary 0

Let the received signal r(t) be the input to a matched filter


with impulse response h(t) followed by a sampler.
s(t) r(t) z(t) z(T)
h(t)
signal
Sample at
Matched time t = T
n(t) filter

The output of the filter sampled at t=T


Probability of Error

z (T ) ai (T ) n0 (T ) i 1, 2
where ai is the desired signal component and no is the
noise component. The noise component no is a zero
mean Gaussian random variable.
