MATLAB Code for Rms Delay Spread


RMS delay spread is crucial when you need to know how much the signal is dispersed in time due to multipath propagation, the spread (variance) around the average. In high-data-rate systems like LTE, 5G, or Wi-Fi, even small time dispersions can cause ISI. RMS delay spread is directly related to the amount of ISI in such systems.

Delay Spread Calculator



MATLAB Code 

clc;
clear all;
close all;

% Sample impulse response of the communication channel (replace this with your data)
impulse_response = randn(1, 1000); % Example impulse response of length 1000

% Sampling interval (replace this with your sampling interval if known)
sampling_interval = 1; % Assume 1 for simplicity

% Calculate the delay values (in samples)
delays = (0:length(impulse_response)-1) * sampling_interval;

% Compute the RMS delay spread
rms_delay_spread = std(delays);

figure();
plot(impulse_response)

% Optionally, convert delay spread to a unit of time (e.g., microseconds)
% Assuming sampling_interval is in seconds
sampling_interval_microseconds = sampling_interval * 1e6; % Convert to microseconds
rms_delay_spread_microseconds = rms_delay_spread * sampling_interval_microseconds;

% Display the results
fprintf('RMS Delay Spread: %.2f samples or %.2f microseconds\n', rms_delay_spread, rms_delay_spread_microseconds);

Output

RMS Delay Spread: 288.82 samples or 288819436.10 microseconds

Channel Estimation utilizing Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE)

  Channel estimation using DFE is a similar process to a non-linear equalization process. In DFE (decision feed equalizer), equalization error bits/symbols between the feedforward tabs and feedback taps are calculated continuously. And equalizer's tap weights tap weights are updated correspondingly.  In plain language, the error between the received bits and known training bits is calculated, and tap weights are updated accordingly. The equalizer estimates the channel impulse response (CIR) .  Once we find the channel impulse response or channel information, we can easily retrieve the original message signal from the noisy data. In the communication process, the whole system is modeled as a linear time-invariant (LTI) system. And  y = h*x + n where, y = received signal            x = transmitted signal           n = additive white Gaussian noise [Read more about the Linear time-invariant (LTI) system and convolu...

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,...

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.

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 fa...

Constellation Diagrams of ASK, PSK, and FSK

Modulation ASK, FSK & PSK Constellation BASK (Binary ASK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: 0 or -√Eb, where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.  BFSK (Binary FSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ ( On the y-axis, the phase shift of 90 degrees with respect to the x-axis, which is also termed phase offset ) or √Eb (on x-axis), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.  BPSK (Binary PSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ or -√Eb (they differ by 180 degree phase shift), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.  This article will primarily discuss constellation diagrams, as well as what constellation diagrams tell us and the significance of constellation diagrams. Constellation diagrams can often demonstrate how the amplitude and phase of signals or symbols differ. These two characteristics lessen the interference between t...

Constellation Diagram of ASK in Detail

A binary bit '1' is assigned a power level of E b \sqrt{E_b}  (or energy E b E_b ), while a binary bit '0' is assigned zero power (or no energy). Energy per bit (Eb): For transmission of binary ‘1' We know that all periodic signals are power signals. Now we’ll find the energy of ASK for the transmission of binary ‘1’. **where Ac is the amplitude of the carrier signal fc is the carrier frequency in Hz To save transmitter energy, Eb should be small. For transmission of binary ‘0’ Constellation Diagram In constellation diagram the function whose energy is equal to 1 is said to be a normalized function. In the above figure the reference axes corresponds to normalized functions. High-order Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) refers to using a large number of amplitude levels to represent digital data. For instance, in binary ASK (BASK), there are two amplitude levels, usually represented as 0 and 1. High-order ASK can have more than two amplitude leve...
