Constellation Diagrams

Digital communication is complete with constellation diagrams. If you have a digital communication interview, the interviewer will ask you to draw a constellation diagram.

Ber vs. S.NR

The relationship between BER and SNR reveals how many transmitted bits from a communication system are corrupted. Did you know? Bit error rates for practical communication systems are close to 10-5 or better.

BER vs SNR for M-ary QAM, M-ary PSK, QPSK, BPSK, ...

Modulation Constellation Diagrams BER vs. SNR BER vs SNR for M-QAM, M-PSK, QPSk, BPSK, ... 1. What is Bit Error Rate (BER)? The abbreviation BER stands for bit error rate, which indicates how many corrupted bits are received (after the demodulation process) compared to the total number of bits sent in a communication process. It is defined as,  In mathematics, BER = (number of bits received in error / total number of transmitted bits)  On the other hand, SNR refers to the signal-to-noise power ratio. For ease of calculation, we commonly convert it to dB or decibels.   2. What is Signal the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)? SNR = signal power/noise power (SNR is a ratio of signal power to noise power) SNR (in dB) = 10*log(signal power / noise power) [base 10] For instance, the SNR for a given communication system is 3dB. So, SNR (in ratio) = 10^{SNR (in dB) / 10} = 2 Therefore, in this instance, the signal power i

Difference between AWGN and Rayleigh Fading

Wireless Signal Processing Gaussian and Rayleigh Distribution Difference between AWGN and Rayleigh Fading 1. Introduction Rayleigh fading coefficients and AWGN, or additive white gaussian noise [↗] , are two distinct factors that affect a wireless communication channel. In mathematics, we can express it in that way.  Fig: Rayleigh Fading due to multi-paths Let's explore wireless communication under two common noise scenarios: AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) and Rayleigh fading. y = h*x + n ... (i) Symbol '*' represents convolution. The transmitted signal  x  is multiplied by the channel coefficient or channel impulse response (h)  in the equation above, and the symbol  "n"  stands for the white Gaussian noise that is added to the signal through any type of channel (here, it is a wireless channel or wireless medium). Due to multi-paths the channel impulse response (h) changes. And multi-paths cause Rayleigh fading. 2

BER vs SNR for ASK, FSK, and PSK

  BER vs. SNR denotes how many bits in error are received in a communication process for a particular Signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. In most cases, SNR is measured in decibel (dB). For a typical communication system, a signal is often affected by two types of noises 1. Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) 2. Rayleigh Fading In the case of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), random magnitude is added to the transmitted signal. On the other hand, Rayleigh fading (due to multipath) attenuates the different frequency components of a signal differently. A good signal-to-noise ratio tries to mitigate the effect of noise.  Calculate BER for Binary ASK Modulation The theoretical BER for binary ASK (BASK) in an AWGN channel is given by: BER  = (1/2) * erfc(0.5 * sqrt(SNR_ask));   Enter SNR (dB): Calculate BER BER vs. SNR curves for ASK, FSK, and PSK Calculate BER for Binary FSK Modulation The theoretical BER for binary FSK (BFSK) in an AWGN channel is g

RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread and Multi-path ...

Signal Processing RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread, and Multipath... RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread, and Multipath (MPCs) The fundamental distinction between wireless and wired connections is that in wireless connections signal reaches at receiver thru multipath signal propagation rather than directed transmission like co-axial cable. Wireless Communication has no set communication path between the transmitter and the receiver. The line of sight path, also known as the LOS path, is the shortest and most direct communication link between TX and RX. The other communication pathways are called non-line of sight (NLOS) paths. Reflection and refraction of transmitted signals with building walls, foliage, and other objects create NLOS paths. [ Read More about LOS and NLOS Paths] Multipath Components or MPCs: The linear nature of the multipath component signals is evident. This signifies that one multipath component signal is a scalar multiple of

Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK | And the definitions of each

Modulation ASK, FSK & PSK Constellation MATLAB Simulink MATLAB Code Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK    Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK Comparison among ASK,  FSK, and PSK Performance Comparison: 1. Noise Sensitivity:    - ASK is the most sensitive to noise due to its reliance on amplitude variations.    - PSK is less sensitive to noise compared to ASK.    - FSK is relatively more robust against noise, making it suitable for noisy environments. 2. Bandwidth Efficiency:    - PSK is the most bandwidth-efficient, requiring less bandwidth than FSK for the same data rate.    - FSK requires wider bandwidth compared to PSK.    - ASK's bandwidth efficiency lies between FSK and PSK.

Why is Time-bandwidth Product Important?

  To calculate the period of a signal with finite bandwidth, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle plays a vital role where the time-bandwidth product indicates the processing gain of the signal. We apply spread spectrum techniques in wireless communication for various reasons, such as interference resilience, security, robustness in multipath, etc. But in spread spectrum techniques, we compromise some bandwidth.  The time-bandwidth product for Gaussian-shaped pulses is 0.44 (approx.). If the time-bandwidth product of a signal is >> 1 , then it indicates the usable bandwidth is very much greater than the data rate. So, in this case, we are unable to utilize the whole available bandwidth. For this case, spectrum efficiency will be less. To your knowledge, the product of the variance of time and variance of bandwidth for a Gaussian signal is 0.25, and for a triangular-shaped signal, it is 0.3.

Applications of a Raise Cosine Filter

  For a typical wireless communication system, we use modulation schemes and filters before transmitting the signal. The main purpose of using it is to transmit a proper waveform so that we can recover the signal at the receiving end more accurately.  If the roll-off factor is Î±, then  Bandwidth (B) = (1 + α) / (2 * T) where T is the time interval. The filter response is zero outside that. The roll-off factor is a parameter used to shape the spectrum of a digital signal in communication systems, and it is not just the product of time and bandwidth. It affects both the time and frequency domain characteristics of the signal. Application A raised cosine filter is used for pulse shaping. You might have noticed in most of the diagrams of 'communication systems.' It is common to use this type of filter after the modulation module.  MATLAB code for raise-cosine filter clc; clear all; close all; Data_sym = [0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1]; M = 4; Phase = 0; Sampling_rate = 48e3; Data_Rate = 100; Ba
