Multiple choice

Consider a binary digital communication system with equally likely 0s and 1s. When binary 0 is transmitted the detector input can lie between the levels - 0.25 V and + 0.25 V with equal probability: when binary 1 is transmitted, the voltage at the detector can have any value between 0 and 1 V with equal probability. If the detector has a threshold of 0.2 V (i.e., if the received signal is greater than 0.2 V, the bit is taken as 1), the average bit error probability is

  1. 0.15

  2. 0.2

  3. 0.05

  4. 0.5
