High Frequency Signal Frequency content of a signal would be symmetric around a target frequency \(f_{c}\), and most of the energy will go from \(f_{c} \pm \frac{1}{T}\). Strictly speaking, you maybe leaking some energy outside the band.
energy of signal \begin{equation} \varepsilon_{1} = \frac{1}{T} \int_{0}^{T} y^{2}(t) \dd{t} \end{equation}
if \(\varepsilon_{s} &gt; \varepsilon_{T}\), then decode \(1\). Otherwise, \(\epsilon_{1} &lt; \epsilon_{T}\), decode \(0\).
Hamming Distance the Hamming Distance between two sequences is the number of positions in which these two sequences differ from each other
error-correction code an error-correction code is a collection of binary strings called &ldquo;codewords&rdquo;
size of the code: numer of codewords \(M\) (\(M=2\) for repetition codes), we want this to be large because &mdash; the number of bits that the code can encode is \(\log_{2} M\), because that&rsquo;s the number of combinations of a binary bit \(\log_{2} M\) which you can encode with a thing of size \(M\) length of the code: the length of each codeword \(L\) (\(M =3\) for repetition codes), we want this to be small to be efficient minimum distance of the code: the minimum distance between any two codewords in the code \(d_{c}\) (measure by Hamming Distance, repetition codes its 3), we want this high minimum codeword size Key question: *assume we want to correct \(t\) bit flips; what is the minimum distance \(d_{c}\) we will need?
Note that if we had \(t\) bit flips, we would have a Hamming Distance of \(t\) bitflips. So, we will need at least \(d_{c} = 2t + 1\) away to disambiguate exactly (if you have a distance of just \(t+1\), you will not be able to tell a code that&rsquo;s exactly in line with your error, \(t+1\) away, if your code error had a Hamming Distance of \(t\)).
formally:
an error correction code can correct \(t\) errors its minimum distance is \(d_{c} \geq 2t+1\); meaning if you have a code error \(d_{c}\), we can correct up to \(t = \left\lfloor \frac{d_{c}-1}{2}\right\rfloor\) a code can detect \(t\) errors \(d_{c} \geq t+1\), meaning we can&rsquo;t accidentally end up with a random codeword linear code In a linear code, if you XOR two codes, you will get another codeword.
rate (error correction code) \begin{equation} R = \frac{\log_{2} M}{L} \end{equation}
We want the rate to be as high as possible.
repetition code Literally send it multiple times
Message Code 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 Then, you look at the three received bits and try to see what the most nearest legitimate codeword is.
By doing nearest neighbor (closest value) decoding, we
