The required bandwidth of the predetection filter is 2W. The output of
the predetection filter is
where
is an arbitrary phase angle induced by the channel and
The carrier power C is
The noise power is
The CNR = C/N and is given by
The band limited noise
at the output of
the predetection filter may be expanded into quadrature components about
so that
Thus
In both cases, the signal power is
The noise power at the detector output is
The signal to noise ratio SNR =
and is given by
In this case, the output of the predetection filter is expressed as
where
The output of the envelope detector is
when
(i.e. the CNR is high). Thus the signal and noise powers are
and

The receiver using the ideal discriminator with a band-pass limiter is
illustrated in Figure
. The predetection band-pass filter and the
band-pass limiter may be combined. They shall remain separate to provide a
uniform treatment. The bandwidth of the predetection band-pass filter is
