THE EVALUATION OF ERROR PROBABILITIES OF DIGITAL SYSTEMS IN THE PRESENCE OF ADDITIVE BECKMANN NOISE.
Abstract
Mathematical expressions for error probabilities of coherent amplitude- and phase-shift keyed digital communication systems in the presence of additive narrowband noise are developed. A digital computer program is developed which evaluates these error probabilities if the noise envelope has a distribution of the form developed by Petr Beckmann in 1964. Beckmann postulated noise as the sum of overlapping impulses of energy whose envelopes are of exponential form. Typical error probabilities as a function of signal-to-noise ratio and number of levels in the system are plotted. (Author)
