9. EEE 461 9 On-off Keying BER depends on the bandwidth of the bandpass filter used. P e becomes smaller as B p is decreased. Minimum bandwidth allowed with no ISI is B p =2B=R=1/T Noncoherent OOK is worse than coherent OOK.

12. EEE 461 12 Noncoherent FSK Detector When signal is present in the lower channel, the upper channel is only noise which is Rayleigh distributed. The lower channel is signal plus noise and it is Rician distributed. Noise outputs of the upper and lower receiver channels is similar.

13. EEE 461 13 Noncoherent FSK Detector The probability of error is thus obtained as: OOK and FSK are equivalent on E b /N o basis. Noncoherent FSK requires at most 1 dB more E b /N o coherent FSK. Noncoherent FSK is much easier to build.

15. EEE 461 15 Differential Phase Shift Keying Phase shift keyed signals can not be detected noncoherently. Using the delayed version of the signal as phase reference partial coherence can be obtained.

16. EEE 461 16 Differential Phase Shift Keying For additive white Gaussian noise the BER performance can be obtained and approximated as: Suboptimum detection (Band pass filter) is similar to that of OOk and FSK. Optimum demodulation of DPSK requires 1 dB more E b /N o BPSK.
