Receiver Requirements SNR SNR FER = 8  Frame = 1024  8 bits FER = 8  Frame = 1024  8 bits Let F be the probability that a frame is received correctly, F100 = 0.92 Let (1-P) be the probability a bit is in error P1024*8 = F P = 0.92(1/ (1024*8*100)) 1-P = 1.01  10-7 Therefore, BER = 1.01  10-7 E/N = (erfinv (1-2*BER)) ^2 E/N = 13.5 dB S/N = S/N = 10.5 dB Adhering to a stricter margin, the S/N can be decided to be 12.3 dB

Noise Figure Noise Figure Sensitivity = NF + SNR + Noise Floor. -80 = ×log (22×106) +12+NF NF = 8.3 dB The noise figure of the receiver should be <= 8.3 dB. IIP3 IIP3 Adjacent channel carrier power= sensitivity+41 dB Carrier power of channel of interest = sensitivity+6 dB Therefore the MDS (minimum discernable signal) is –80+6-SNR= = = Carrier power of adjacent channel = = -39 IIP3 = (-39-(-84.5))/2 = Therefore IIP3 for a receiver should be higher than –16.25.
