Consider a random process $$X\left( t \right) = \sqrt 2 \sin \left( {2\pi t + \varphi } \right),$$ where the random phase $$\varphi $$ is uniformly distributed in the interval $$\left[ {0,\,\,2\pi } \right].$$ The auto - correlation $$E\left[ {X\left( {{t_1}} \right)X\left( {{t_2}} \right)} \right]$$ is

Let $$Q\left( {\sqrt y } \right)$$ be the BER of a BPSK system over an AWGN channel with two - sided noise power spectral density N₀/2. The parameter 𝛾 is a function of bit energy and noise power spectral density. A system with two independent and identical AWGN channels with noise power spectral density N₀/2 is shown in the figure. The BPSK demodulator receives the sum of outputs of both the channels

If the BER of this system is $$Q\left( {b\sqrt y } \right),$$ then the value of b is -----------.

Bits 1 and 0 are transmitted with equal probability. At the receiver, the pdf of the respective received signals for both bits are as shown below.

If the detection threshold is 1, the BER will be

Bits 1 and 0 are transmitted with equal probability. At the receiver, the pdf of the respective received signals for both bits are as shown below.

The optimum threshold to achieve minimum bit error rate (BER) is
