Since GHG=P4
i=1 |si|2I4, the maximum-likelihood detector bases its deci-
sions on the estimates:
ˆs1=h∗
11y1+h∗
12y2+h∗
13y3+h∗
14y4+h11y∗
5+h12y∗
6+h13y∗
7+h14y∗

ˆs2=h∗
12y1−h∗
11y2−h∗
14y3+h∗
13y4+h12y∗
5−h11y∗
6−h14y∗
7+h13y∗

Problem 15.17
From equation (15.3-2), the output of the MRC is
µj=hH
jyj=rEb
NT
sjkhjk2
F+hH
jnj, j = 1,2,…,NT
For BPSK modulation, assume sj=±1 and consider the case of the signal
transmitted from antenna 1. Then, with s1= 1,
µ1=rEb
NT
s1kh1k2
F+hH
1n1
¯γcNR(NR−1)!γNR−1
