In a code - division multiple access (CDMA) system with N = 8 chips, the maximum number of users who can be assigned mutually orthogonal signature sequences is _______.

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 -----------.

The capacity of a Binary Symmetric Channel (BSC) with cross - over probability 0.5 is ______ .
