## Problems

1. Let the transmitter pulse be the NRZ pulse given by

The linear receiver applies a filter with impulse response and then samples the output at multiples of .
1. Draw an eye diagram corresponding to the signal at the input to the linear receiver.
2. Draw an eye diagram corresponding to the signal at the output of the linear receiver.
3. Based on these eye diagrams, explain why the NRZ pulse is both a Nyquist pulse and a square-root Nyquist pulse.

1. Express the three waveforms in Figure 2.23 (page 46 of the Anderson text) in terms of an orthonormal basis. To do this problem, apply the Gram-Schmidt procedure outlined on pages 44-45 of the text.
2. Draw the vectors in signal space. Your drawing should look something like Figure 2.25 (page 47).
3. What is the dimension of signal space in this problem?
4. Draw the orthonormal basis functions and .

2. Let be a set of orthonormal functions defined over the interval . This means that

Let be a signal that is not in span . Let be a signal that is in span that is an approximation of . Define the error

Prove that the coefficients that minimize the energy in

are given by

3. Let be a set of orthonormal function defined over the interval . Let be a function in the span of these orthonormal functions.

Collect the coefficients into a vector

Prove that the energy in is related to the norm (length) of the vector as follows

4. Consider the likelihoods and prior probabilities tabulated below.Compute (using Bayes rule) the posterior probabilities for and .
