Abstract

The impact of nonGaussian impulsive noise combined with Gaussian noise on the performance of the binary transmission is analyzed. The impulsive noise is modeled as an alpha-stable process. The probability of error for optimum, linear and nonlinear receivers is derived. The proposed nonlinear detectors show substantial improvements in performance compared to linear ones. The obtained results will be useful in performance evaluation of digital communication links subject to Gaussian and impulsive noises.<>
