% Clear any existing data and figures
clc;
clear;
close all;

% Define system parameters
transmitAntennas = 2; % Number of antennas at the transmitter
receiveAntennas = 2; % Number of antennas at the receiver
symbolCount = 1000000; % Number of symbols to transmit
SNR_dB = 15; % Signal-to-Noise Ratio in decibels

% Generate random binary data for transmission
rng(10); % Set seed for reproducibility
transmitData = randi([0, 1], transmitAntennas, symbolCount);

% Perform Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation
modulatedSymbols = 1 - 2 * transmitData;

% Define Alamouti's Precoding Matrix
precodingMatrix = [1 1; -1i 1i];

% Encode and transmit data using Alamouti scheme
transmittedSymbols = zeros(transmitAntennas, symbolCount);
for idx = 1:2:symbolCount
transmittedSymbols(:, idx:idx+1) = precodingMatrix * modulatedSymbols(:, idx:idx+1);
end

% Simulate Rayleigh fading channel
channelMatrix = (randn(receiveAntennas, transmitAntennas) + 1i * randn(receiveAntennas, transmitAntennas)) / sqrt(2);

% Receive signal and add AWGN
receivedSignal = awgn(channelMatrix * transmittedSymbols, SNR_dB, 'measured');

% Decode and demodulate received symbols
decodedSymbols = zeros(transmitAntennas, symbolCount);
for idx = 1:2:symbolCount
% Estimate received symbols using channel information
receivedEstimation = channelMatrix' * receivedSignal(:, idx:idx+1);
% Decode symbols using Alamouti decoding
decodedSymbols(:, idx:idx+1) = precodingMatrix' * receivedEstimation;
end

% Perform BPSK demodulation to retrieve received binary data
receivedBinaryData = decodedSymbols < 0;

% Calculate error rate
errorCount = sum(sum(transmitData ~= receivedBinaryData));
errorRate = errorCount / (transmitAntennas * symbolCount);

% Display the error rate
disp(['Error rate: ', num2str(errorRate)]);

 

Output

 Error rate: 0

You can run a loop by varying the SNR values. You can plot the BER vs SNR graph easily.

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

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.

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

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

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
