Digital communication system
Important features of a DCS:
The transmitter sends a waveform from a finite set of possible
waveforms during a limited time

Noise in communication systems
Thermal noise is described by a zero-mean Gaussian random
process, n(t).
Its PSD is flat, hence, it is called white noise.
