The bandwidth of Channel: Another term that comes up regularly in wireless communications is bandwidth. We call it a channel's capacity in plain English. "bandwidth" refers to the amount of data sent between the transmitter and the receiver in a given period. The fundamental distinction between several evolutions of G's in telecom is based on bandwidth availability and powerful modulation techniques. Read more ...

BER and SER

'BER' is the abbreviation of bit error rate, and 'SER' is the abbreviation for symbol error rate. We often mention 'BER vs. SNR' graphs to investigate the reliability of a communication system.

Distance Range / Coverage range: a parameter denotes a cell tower's distance range/signal coverage range. Two options. Read more ...

Scenario: Three possibilities apply: "UMi," "UMa," and "RMa." The area covered by UMi is relatively limited. It has a range of 100 to 200 meters. When Uma is 200 meters to 2 kilometers long (approx). In the RMa scenario, signals travel up to a few kilometers. Read more ...

Environment: a parameter denotes the climate, either line-of-sight (LOS) or non-line-of-sight (NLOS). Read More ...

TX Power (dBm): a parameter denotes the transmit power in dBm. You may be surprised that mobile reception power for LTE service ranges from -44 dBm to -140 dBm (approx.). Read more ...

Base Station Height (m): This parameter will be a hot cake as increased frequency requires a small antenna. In general, antenna height ranges from 10 to 150. read more ...

Barometric Pressure: a parameter denotes the barometric Pressure in the bar used in evaluating propagation path loss induced by dry air. The typical value is 1013.25 mbar (millibar) (i.e., nominal for sea level) and may range from 10−5 to 1013.25 (mbar).

Humidity: an editable parameter denotes the relative humidity in percentage used in evaluating propagation path loss induced by vapor. The default value is 50 (%) and can be set to any number between 0 and 100 (%).

Temperature: a parameter denotes the temperature in degrees Celsius used in evaluating propagation path loss induced by haze/fog. The typical value is 20 (◦C) and may range from -100 to 50 (◦C).

Rain Rate: a parameter denotes the rain rate in mm/hr used in evaluating propagation path loss induced by rain. The default value is 0 (mm/hr), and the typical range is 0 to 150 (mm/hr).

Polarization: a parameter denotes the polarization relation between the TX and RX antennas or antenna arrays. They may be Co-Pol (co-polarization) or X-Pol (cross-polarization).

Foliage Loss: a parameter that indicates whether or not foliage loss will be considered in the simulation. The default setting is No (which implies foliage loss will not be considered) and can be used according to the environment (which means foliage loss will be considered).

Foliage Attenuation: a parameter denotes the propagation loss induced by foliage in dB/m. 

TX & RX Array Type denotes the TX & RX antenna array type. They are generally ULA (uniform linear array) or URA (constant rectangular array).

Several TX & RX Antenna Elements Nt & Nr: This parameter denotes the array's total number of TX or TX antenna elements.

TX & RX Antenna Spacing (in wavelength): Antenna Spacing is the spacing between adjacent TX or RX antennas in the array regarding the carrier wavelength. The traditional value is 0.5.

AOA & AOD: Angle of arrival (AOA) and angle of departure (AOD) refer to the pitch the signal ray creates with the antenna boresight during either the transmission or reception of the signal.

Azimuth & Elevation angles: The vertical angular range of a signal is measured by elevation angle, whereas the horizontal angular content is measured by azimuth angle.

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

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.

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.  Let's explore wireless communication under two common noise scenarios: AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) and Rayleigh fading. y = hx + n ... (i) 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. Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) The mathematical effect involves adding Gauss

Channel Impulse Response (CIR)

Channel Impulse Response (CIR) Wireless Signal Processing CIR, Doppler Shift & Gaussian Random Variable  The Channel Impulse Response (CIR) is a concept primarily used in the field of telecommunications and signal processing. It provides information about how a communication channel responds to an impulse signal.   What is the Channel Impulse Response (CIR) ? It describes the behavior of a communication channel in response to an impulse signal. In signal processing,  an impulse signal has zero amplitude at all other times and amplitude  ∞ at time 0 for the signal. Using a Dirac Delta function, we can approximate this.  ...(i) δ( t) now has a very intriguing characteristic. The answer is 1 when the Fourier Transform of  δ( t) is calculated. As a result, all frequencies are responded to equally by  δ (t). This is crucial since we never know which frequencies a system will affect when examining an unidentified one. Since it can test the system for all freq
