BER vs Eb/N0 Simulation Modulation: M-ary PSK M-ary QAM (Square) ASK (Binary/OOK) FSK (Binary Coherent) M (Order): 2 (BPSK) 4 (QPSK) 8-PSK/QAM 16-PSK/QAM 64-PSK/QAM Eb/N0 Range (dB) [start:step:end]: *Changes update the plot in real-time. Mathematical Background The Bit Error Rate (BER) is the probability that a bit is misidentified due to noise. We plot this against $E_b/N_0$ (Energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio). 1. Energy Conversion For M-ary modulations, each symbol carries $k = \log_2(M)$ bits. The Symbol Energy ($E_s$) relates to Bit Energy ($E_b$) as: E s /N 0 = (E b /N 0 ) × log 2 (M) 2. The Complementary Error Function Errors in Gaussian noise (AWGN) are calculated using the erfc(x) function. It is related to the Q-function by: Q(x) = ½ erfc(x/√2) . 3. Modulation Formulas M-ary PSK: BER ≈ (1 / log...
