Abstract

Investigation into the characteristics and behaviors of Laplace noise is of crucial importance for evaluating the performance of communication systems operating in impulsive noise as well as for ultra-wideband systems operating in the presence of multi-user interference. The bit error rate performance of data communication systems operating in the presence of additive Laplace noise is analyzed theoretically. A theoretical expression for the average bit error rate is derived using the Beaulieu series for the optimal soft-limiting detector when arbitrary signal levels are detected. The analytical expression for the bit error rate is validated by numerical examples.
