### Procedure to reconstruct sampled signal
Analog signal $x'(t)$ which can be reconstructed from a sampled signal $x_s(t)$: Put $x_s(t)$ through LPF with maximum frequency of $f_s/2$ and minimum frequency of $-f_s/2$. Anything outside of the BPF will be attenuated, therefore $n$ which results in frequencies outside the BPF will evaluate to $0$ and can be ignored.
Example: $f_s=5000\implies \text{LPF}\in[-2500,2500]$
Then iterate for $n=0,1,-1,2,-2,\dots$ until the first iteration where the result is 0 since all terms are eliminated by the LPF.
TODO: Add example
Then add all terms and transform $\bar X_s(f)$ back to time domain to get $x_s(t)$
### Fourier transform of continuous time periodic signal (1)

$$
Calculate $C_n$ coefficient as follows from $x_p(t)$:

$$
\begin{align*}
% C_n&=X_p(nf_s)\\
C_n&=\frac{1}{T_s} \int_{T_s} x_p(t)\exp(-j2\pi f_s t)dt\\
&=\frac{1}{T_s} X(nf_s)\quad\color{red}\text{(TODO: Check)}\quad\color{white}\text{$x(t-nT_s)$ is contained in the interval $T_s$}
\end{align*}
$$
<!-- Reconstruct from $\bar{X_s}(f)$ within the range $[-f_s/2,f_s/2]$ -->

s_1(t)&=-A_c\sqrt{\frac{T_b}{2}}\varphi_1(t)=-\sqrt{E_b}\varphi_2(t)\\
&\text{Since $E_b=E_\text{average}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{{A_c}^2}{2}\times T_b + \frac{{A_c}^2}{2}\times T_b)=\frac{{A_c}^2}{2}T_b$}
\end{align*}
$$
Distance is $d=2\sqrt{E_b}$
### QPSK ($M=4$ PSK)
#### Basis functions
$$
\begin{align*}
T &= 2 T_b\quad\text{Time per symbol for two bits $T_b$}\\
\varphi_1(t) &= \sqrt{\frac{2}{T}}\cos(2\pi f_c t)\quad0\leq t\leq T\\
\varphi_2(t) &= \sqrt{\frac{2}{T}}\sin(2\pi f_c t)\quad0\leq t\leq T\\
\end{align*}
$$
### 4 possible waveforms
$$
\begin{align*}
s_1(t)&=\sqrt{E_s/2}\left[\varphi_1(t)+\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
s_2(t)&=\sqrt{E_s/2}\left[\varphi_1(t)-\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
s_3(t)&=\sqrt{E_s/2}\left[-\varphi_1(t)+\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
s_4(t)&=\sqrt{E_s/2}\left[-\varphi_1(t)-\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
\end{align*}
$$
Note on energy per symbol: Since $|s_i(t)|=A_c$, have to normalize distance as follows:
$$
\begin{align*}
s_i(t)&=A_c\sqrt{T/2}/\sqrt{2}\times\left[\alpha_{1i}\varphi_1(t)+\alpha_{2i}\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
&=\sqrt{T{A_c}^2/4}\left[\alpha_{1i}\varphi_1(t)+\alpha_{2i}\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
&=\sqrt{E_s/2}\left[\alpha_{1i}\varphi_1(t)+\alpha_{2i}\varphi_2(t)\right]\\
\end{align*}
$$
#### Signal
$$
\begin{align*}
\text{Symbol mapping: }& \left\{1,0\right\}\to\left\{1,-1\right\}\\
I(t) &= b_{2n}\varphi_1(t)\quad\text{Even bits}\\
Q(t) &= b_{2n+1}\varphi_2(t)\quad\text{Odd bits}\\
x(t) &= A_c[I(t)\cos(2\pi f_c t)-Q(t)\sin(2\pi f_c t)]
\end{align*}

## Matched filter
### 1. Filter function
Find transfer function $h(t)$ of matched filter and apply to an input:
$$
\begin{align*}
h(t)&=s_1(T-t)-s_2(T-t)\\
h(t)&=s^*(T-t) \qquad\text{((.)* is the conjugate)}\\
s_{on}(t)&=h(t)*s_n(t)=\int_\infty^\infty h(\tau)s_n(t-\tau)d\tau\quad\text{Filter output}\\
n_o(t)&=h(t)*n(t)\quad\text{Noise at filter output}

To solve this type of question:
1. Use the formula for $D$ below
2. Consult the BER table below to get the BER which relates the noise of the channel $N_0$ to $E_b$ and to $R_b$.

## Information theory
### Entropy for discrete random variables
$$
\begin{align*}
H(x) &\geq 0\\
H(x) &= -\sum_{x_i\in A_x} p_X(x_i) \log_2(p_X(x_i))\\
H(x,y) &= -\sum_{x_i\in A_x}\sum_{y_i\in A_y} p_{XY}(x_i,y_i)\log_2(p_{XY}(x_i,y_i)) \quad\text{Joint entropy}\\
H(x,y) &= H(x)+H(y) \quad\text{Joint entropy if $x$ and $y$ independent}\\
H(x|y=y_j) &= -\sum_{x_i\in A_x} p_X(x_i|y=y_j) \log_2(p_X(x_i|y=y_j)) \quad\text{Conditional entropy}\\
H(x|y) &= -\sum_{y_j\in A_y} p_Y(y_j) H(x|y=y_j) \quad\text{Average conditional entropy, equivocation}\\
H(x|y) &= -\sum_{x_i\in A_x}\sum_{y_i\in A_y} p_X(x_i,y_j) \log_2(p_X(x_i|y=y_j))\\
H(x|y) &= H(x,y)-H(y)\\
H(x,y) &= H(x) + H(y|x) = H(y) + H(x|y)\\
\end{align*}
$$
Entropy is **maximized** when all have an equal probability.
### Differential entropy for continuous random variables
TODO: Cut out if not required
$$
\begin{align*}
h(x) &= -\int_\mathbb{R}f_X(x)\log_2(f_X(x))dx
\end{align*}
$$
### Mutual information
Amount of entropy decrease of $x$ after observation by $y$.
$$
\begin{align*}
I(x;y) &= H(x)-H(x|y)=H(y)-H(y|x)\\
\end{align*}
$$
### Channel model
Vertical, $x$: input\
Horizontal, $y$: output
$$
\mathbf{P}=\left[\begin{matrix}
p_{11} & p_{12} &\dots & p_{1N}\\
p_{21} & p_{22} &\dots & p_{2N}\\
\vdots & \vdots &\ddots & \vdots\\
p_{M1} & p_{M2} &\dots & p_{MN}\\
\end{matrix}\right]
$$
$$
\begin{array}{c|cccc}
P(y_j|x_i)& y_1 & y_2 & \dots & y_N \\
\hline
x_1 & p_{11} & p_{12} & \dots & p_{1N} \\
x_2 & p_{21} & p_{22} & \dots & p_{2N} \\
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
x_M & p_{M1} & p_{M2} & \dots & p_{MN} \\
\end{array}
$$
Input has probability distribution $p_X(a_i)=P(X=a_i)$
Channel maps alphabet $\{a_1,\dots,a_M\} \to \{b_1,\dots,b_N\}$
Output has probabiltiy distribution $p_Y(b_j)=P(y=b_j)$
$$
\begin{align*}
p_Y(b_j) &= \sum_{i=1}^{M}P[x=a_i,y=b_j]\quad 1\leq j\leq N \\
&= \sum_{i=1}^{M}P[X=a_i]P[Y=b_j|X=a_i]\\
[\begin{matrix}p_Y(b_0)&p_Y(b_1)&\dots&p_Y(b_j)\end{matrix}] &= [\begin{matrix}p_X(a_0)&p_X(a_1)&\dots&p_X(a_i)\end{matrix}]\times\mathbf{P}
\end{align*}
$$
#### Fast procedure to calculate $I(y;x)$
$$
\begin{align*}
&\text{1. Find }H(x)\\
&\text{2. Find }[\begin{matrix}p_Y(b_0)&p_Y(b_1)&\dots&p_Y(b_j)\end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix}p_X(a_0)&p_X(a_1)&\dots&p_X(a_i)\end{matrix}]\times\mathbf{P}\\
&\text{3. Multiply each row in $\textbf{P}$ by $p_X(a_i)$ since $p_{XY}(x_i,y_i)=P(y_i|x_i)P(x_i)$}\\
&\text{4. Find $H(x,y)$ using each element from (3.)}\\
&\text{5. Find }H(x|y)=H(x,y)-H(y)\\
&\text{6. Find }I(y;x)=H(x)-H(x|y)\\
\end{align*}
$$
### Channel types
| Type | Definition |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Symmetric channel | Every row is a permutation of every other row, Every column is a permutation of every other column. $\text{Symmetric}\implies\text{Weakly symmetric}$ |
| Weakly symmetric | Every row is a permutation of every other row, Every column has the same sum |
#### Channel capacity of weakly symmetric channel
$$
\begin{align*}
C &\to\text{Channel capacity (bits/channels used)}\\
N &\to\text{Output alphabet size}\\
\mathbf{p} &\to\text{Probability vector, any row of the transition matrix}\\
C &= \log_2(N)-H(\mathbf{p})\quad\text{Capacity for weakly symmetric and symmetric channels}\\
R &< C \text{ for error-free transmission}
\end{align*}
$$
#### Channel capacity of an AWGN channel
$$
y_i=x_i+n_i\quad n_i\thicksim N(0,N_0/2)
$$
$$
C=\frac{1}{2}\log_2\left(1+\frac{P_\text{av}}{N_0/2}\right)
$$
#### Channel capacity of a bandwidth AWGN channel
Note: Define XOR ($\oplus$) as exclusive OR, or modulo-2 addition.
$$
\begin{align*}
P_s&\to\text{Bandwidth limited average power}\\
y_i&=\text{bandpass}_W(x_i)+n_i\quad n_i\thicksim N(0,N_0/2)\\
C&=W\log_2\left(1+\frac{P_s}{N_0 W}\right)\\
C&=W\log_2(1+\text{SNR})\quad\text{SNR}=P_s/(N_0 W)
\end{align*}
$$
## Channel code
| | | |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Hamming weight | $w_H(x)$ | Number of `'1'` in codeword $x$ |
| Hamming distance | $d_H(x_1,x_2)=w_H(x_1\oplus x_2)$ | Number of different bits between codewords $x_1$ and $x_2$ which is the hamming weight of the XOR of the two codes. |
| Minimum distance | $d_\text{min}$ | **IMPORTANT**: $x\neq\bold{0}$, excludes weight of all-zero codeword. For a linear block code, $d_\text{min}=w_\text{min}$ |
### Linear block code
Code is $(n,k)$
$n$ is the width of a codeword
$2^k$ codewords
A linear block code must be a subspace and satisfy both:
1. Zero vector must be present at least once
2. The XOR of any codeword pair in the code must result in a codeword that is already present in the code table.
For a linear block code, $d_\text{min}=w_\text{min}$
### Code generation
Each generator vector is a binary string of size $n$. There are $k$ generator vectors in $\mathbf{G}$.
$$
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{g}_i&=[\begin{matrix}
g_{i,0}& \dots & g_{i,n-2} & g_{i,n-1}
\end{matrix}]\\
\color{darkgray}\mathbf{g}_0&\color{darkgray}=[1010]\quad\text{Example for $n=4$}\\
\mathbf{G}&=\left[\begin{matrix}
\mathbf{g}_0\\
\mathbf{g}_1\\
\vdots\\
\mathbf{g}_{k-1}\\
\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}
g_{0,0}& \dots & g_{0,n-2} & g_{0,n-1}\\
g_{1,0}& \dots & g_{1,n-2} & g_{1,n-1}\\
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots\\
g_{k-1,0}& \dots & g_{k-1,n-2} & g_{k-1,n-1}\\
\end{matrix}\right]
\end{align*}
$$
A message block $\mathbf{m}$ is coded as $\mathbf{x}$ using the generation codewords in $\mathbf{G}$:
$$
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{m}&=[\begin{matrix}
m_{0}& \dots & m_{n-2} & m_{k-1}
\end{matrix}]\\
\color{darkgray}\mathbf{m}&\color{darkgray}=[101001]\quad\text{Example for $k=6$}\\
\mathbf{x} &= \mathbf{m}\mathbf{G}=m_0\mathbf{g}_0+m_1\mathbf{g}_1+\dots+m_{k-1}\mathbf{g}_{k-1}
\end{align*}
$$
### Systemic linear block code
Contains $k$ message bits (Copy $\mathbf{m}$ as-is) and $(n-k)$ parity bits after the message bits.
$$
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{G}&=\begin{array}{c|c}[\mathbf{I}_k & \mathbf{P}]\end{array}=\left[
\begin{array}{c|c}
\begin{matrix}
1 & 0 & \dots & 0\\
0 & 1 & \dots & 0\\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\
0& 0 & \dots & 1\\
\end{matrix}
&
\begin{matrix}
p_{0,0}& \dots & p_{0,n-2} & p_{0,n-1}\\
p_{1,0}& \dots & p_{1,n-2} & p_{1,n-1}\\
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots\\
p_{k-1,0}& \dots & p_{k-1,n-2} & p_{k-1,n-1}\\
\end{matrix}\end{array}\right]\\
\mathbf{m}&=[\begin{matrix}
m_{0}& \dots & m_{n-2} & m_{k-1}
\end{matrix}]\\
\mathbf{x} &= \mathbf{m}\mathbf{G}= \mathbf{m} \begin{array}{c|c}[\mathbf{I}_k & \mathbf{P}]\end{array}=\begin{array}{c|c}[\mathbf{mI}_k & \mathbf{mP}]\end{array}=\begin{array}{c|c}[\mathbf{m} & \mathbf{b}]\end{array}\\
\mathbf{b} &= \mathbf{m}\mathbf{P}\quad\text{Parity bits of $\mathbf{x}$}
\end{align*}
$$
#### Parity check matrix $\mathbf{H}$
Transpose $\mathbf{P}$ for the parity check matrix
$$
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{H}&=\begin{array}{c|c}[\mathbf{P}^\text{T} & \mathbf{I}_{n-k}]\end{array}\\
&=\left[
\begin{array}{c|c}
\begin{matrix}
{\textbf{p}_0}^\text{T} & {\textbf{p}_1}^\text{T} & \dots & {\textbf{p}_{k-1}}^\text{T}
\end{matrix}
&
\mathbf{I}_{n-k}\end{array}\right]\\
&=\left[
\begin{array}{c|c}
\begin{matrix}
p_{0,0}& \dots & p_{0,k-2} & p_{0,k-1}\\
p_{1,0}& \dots & p_{1,k-2} & p_{1,k-1}\\
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots\\
p_{n-1,0}& \dots & p_{n-1,k-2} & p_{n-1,k-1}\\
\end{matrix}
&
\begin{matrix}
1 & 0 & \dots & 0\\
0 & 1 & \dots & 0\\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\
0& 0 & \dots & 1\\
\end{matrix}\end{array}\right]\\
\mathbf{xH}^\text{T}&=\mathbf{0}\implies\text{Codeword is valid}
\end{align*}
$$
#### Procedure to find parity check matrix from list of codewords
1. From the number of codewords, find $k=\log_2(N)$
2. Partition codewords into $k$ information bits and remaining bits into $n-k$ parity bits. The information bits should be a simple counter (?).
3. Express parity bits as a linear combination of information bits
4. Put coefficients into $\textbf{P}$ matrix and find $\textbf{H}$
Example:
$$
\begin{array}{cccc}
x_1 & x_2 & x_3 & x_4 & x_5 \\
\hline
\color{magenta}1&\color{magenta}0&1&1&0\\
\color{magenta}0&\color{magenta}1&1&1&1\\
\color{magenta}0&\color{magenta}0&0&0&0\\
\color{magenta}1&\color{magenta}1&0&0&1\\
\end{array}
$$
Set $x_1,x_2$ as information bits. Express $x_3,x_4,x_5$ in terms of $x_1,x_2$.
$$
\begin{align*}
\begin{align*}
x_3 &= x_1\oplus x_2\\
x_4 &= x_1\oplus x_2\\
x_5 &= x_2\\
\end{align*}
\implies\textbf{P}&=
\begin{array}{c|ccc}
& x_1 & x_2 \\
\hline
x_3&1&1&\\
x_4&1&1&\\
x_5&0&1&\\
\end{array}\\
\textbf{H}&=\left[
\begin{array}{c|c}
\begin{matrix}
1&1\\
1&1\\
0&1\\
\end{matrix}
&
\begin{matrix}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1\\
\end{matrix}\end{array}\right]
\end{align*}
$$
