Question: binary communication system uses equiprobable signals s 1 ( t ) and s 2 ( t ) s 1 ( t ) = 2 Eb

binary communication system uses equiprobable signals s1(t) and s2(t)
s1(t)=2Eb 1(t) cos(2 f c t)
s2(t)=2Eb 2(t) cos(2 f c t)
for transmission of two equiprobable messages. It is assumed that 1(t) and 2(t) are
orthonormal. The channel is AWGN with noise power spectral density of N0/2.
1. Determine the optimal error probability for this system, using a coherent detector.
2. Assuming that the demodulator has a phase ambiguity between 0 and (0 )
in carrier recovery, and employs the same detector as in part 1, what is the resulting
worst-case error probability?
3. What is the answer to part 2 in the special case where = /2
