(20 points) The transmission of digital data over noisy communication channel is modeled es adding zero-mean, Gaussian noise N (of variance 0) to a diserete random variable X, where X takes on values +5 and —5 with equal probability. The detected signal is ¥ = X +N (ic. the received only gets to see Y). IFY > 0 when X = ~5 or when ¥ <0 when X = +8 a transmission error has occurred. Find the channel SNR (in dB) and noise variance 0% that result in a probability of error of 3.9 x 10~* (no calculators needed, just write an expression with as many of the numbers filled in as possible) From clas, recall that ) Pablered = A([sve Tue want Problems) = AG) = 34x07 Then usin me Q(-) function sable, we seg That \swa = 3,36 = sue= G36)? 1 0104.06.36") = 2olopio (3.36) (dB) channel SUR recdeel, Since swe= EL] _ Efe].
