An analog pulse s(t) is transmitted over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The received signal is r(t) = s(t) + n(t), where n(t) is additive white Gaussian noise with power spectral density \(\frac{{{{\rm{N}}_0}}}{2}\). The received signal is passed through a filter with impulse response h(t). Let |
