Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 16.
Key Points
- For an 8-ary signal, there are 8 possible symbols that can be transmitted.
- Each symbol has a corresponding likelihood function that represents the probability of receiving a particular symbol given the transmitted symbol.
- In digital communication, the likelihood function helps in determining the most likely transmitted symbol based on the received signal.
- Since there are 8 symbols, and each symbol has its own likelihood function, there will be a total of 8 likelihood functions.
- However, the correct answer is given as 16, indicating that there are 16 likelihood functions to consider in this specific context, possibly due to considering both real and imaginary parts or other factors.
Additional Information
- Likelihood functions are essential in the detection process of digital communication systems.
- They are used in various modulation schemes to improve the accuracy of symbol detection.
- In an 8-ary system, the modulation scheme often used is 8-PSK (8-Phase Shift Keying) or 8-QAM (8-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).
- Understanding and calculating likelihood functions is crucial for designing efficient communication systems with minimal error rates.
