Abstract

A model for a communication system transmitting two non-orthogonal n-PAM signals with spectral overlapping through an AWGN band-limited channel is established. The system is shown to be equivalent to a discrete time-variant multi-user channel with strong interference among users. A receiver structure based on source separation concepts is proposed. The performance of signal detection in terms of symbol error rate is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations.
