Mathematical Draft
The BER is the likelihood of a bit misinterpretation due to electrical noise . Considering a bipolar NRZ transmission, we have
for a "1" and for a "0". Each of and has a period of .
Knowing that the noise has a bilateral spectral density ,
is
and is .
Returning to BER, we have the likelihood of a bit misinterpretation .
and
where is the threshold of decision, set to 0 when .
We can use the average energy of the signal to find the final expression :
±§

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or draft:
“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
“It is crystal clear to me that if Arabs put down a draft resolution blaming Israel for the recent earthquake in Iran it would probably have a majority, the U.S. would veto it and Britain and France would abstain.”
—Amos Oz (b. 1939)
