The circuit shown is a

Two independent random variable X and Y are uniformly distributed in the interval [ - 1, 1]. The probability that max [X, Y] is less than 1/2 is

A BPSK scheme operating over an AWGN channel with noise power spectral density of N₀2, uses equi-probable signals $$${s_1}\left( t \right) = \sqrt {{{2E} \over T}\,\sin \left( {{\omega _c}t} \right)} $$$
and $$${s_2}\left( t \right) = - \sqrt {{{2E} \over T}\,\sin \left( {{\omega _c}t} \right)} $$$

over the symbol interval, $$(0, T)$$. If the local oscillator in a coherent receiver is ahead in phase by 45⁰ with respect to the received signal, the probability of error in the resulting system is

A source alphabet consists of N symbols with the probability of the first two symbols being the same. A source encoder increases the probability of the first symbol by a small amount $$\varepsilon $$ and decreases that of the second by $$\varepsilon $$. After encoding, the entropy of the source
