If s1(t) is transmitted and if noise is absent, the output of the
upper correlator r1 is while the output of the lower correlator r2 is zero.
Intermediate parameter L = (r1 – r2) > 0.
Similarly, it is easy to see that if s2(t) is transmitted, L < 0
we see that the decision boundary is a straight line with unit
slope.
This implies that, if the received vector r the output of the
correlator bank is in decision zone Z1, then L > 0 and otherwise it is in zone Z2. Coherent demodulation structure for BFSK
When we consider additive noise, ‘L’ represents a random variable
whose mean is + if message ‘1’ is transmitted .
For message ‘0’, the mean of ‘L’ is -
r1 and r2 are independent and identically distributed random
variables with the same variance No/2.
So, variance of ‘L’ = variance of ‘r1’ + variance of ‘r2’ = No/2 + No/2
= No
Now, assuming that a ‘0’ has been transmitted, the likelihood
function is:
l is sample value of random variable ‘L’.

Average probability of error when ‘0’ is transmitted
Now as 1 and 0 are equally likely to occur at the input of modulator , the overall BER is Comparison of modulation techniques Comparison of modulation techniques Thank You
