Problem 1
Let two signals are s0k = a, and s1k = a(−1)k , where, k = 0, 1, · · · , K − 1. Which one will yield the better
detection performance?

Problem 2
In a PAM communication system we transmit one of 2 levels so that sk = ai , where k = 0, 1, · · · , K − 1 and
i = 0, 1. If Pe is to be minimized and each signal is equally likely to be transmitted, how should a0 and a1 be
chosen when average signal energy is to be constrained?

Problem 3
Let a Gaussian random variable X with mean zero and variance σ 2 is passed through one of two nonlinear
transformations:
H1 :X2
H0 :X3
Find the LRT under minimum probability error criterion when both hypothesis are equally likely.
