A single bit, equally likely to be 0 and 1, is to be sent across an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with power spectral density N0/2. Binary signaling, with 0 ↦ p(t) and 1 ↦ q(t), is used for the transmission, along with an optimal receiver that minimizes the bit-error probability. Let φ1 (t), φ2(t) form an orthonormal signal set. If we choose p(t) = φ1 (t) and q(t) = −φ1 (t), we would obtain a certain bit-error probability Pb.
