Equalizer to reduce Multi-path Effects using MATLAB

 

Steps

1. Convert Bit Stream to Bipolar Format. Converts the bit stream from binary (0, 1) to bipolar format (-1, 1).

2. Define Channel Impulse Response

3. Pass Signal Through the Channel. Convolves the bipolar signal with the channel impulse response to simulate the channel effect.

4. Adds Gaussian noise to the received signal based on the specified SNR.

5. Initialize Adaptive Filter Parameters. 

  • w: Initializes the adaptive filter coefficients.
  • x_buf: Initializes the buffer for the input to the adaptive filter.
  • equalized_signal: Initializes the array to store the equalized signal.
  • P: Initializes the inverse correlation matrix.
  • 6. Adaptive Equalization Using RLS Algorithm

    Loops through each sample to perform adaptive equalization:

    • Update Input Buffer: Adds the current sample to the input buffer.
    • Calculate Gain Vector: Computes the gain vector k for the adaptive filter.
    • Calculate Error Signal: Computes the error between the original signal and the filter output.
    • Update Filter Coefficients: Updates the adaptive filter coefficients based on the error signal.
    • Update Inverse Correlation Matrix: Updates the inverse correlation matrix for the RLS algorithm.
    • Store Equalized Output: Stores the equalized signal in the output array.

    7. Plot Original and Equalized Signals

    Theoretical BER vs SNR for BPSK

    Theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) vs Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for BPSK in AWGN Channel Let’s simplify the explanation for the theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) in an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Key Points Fig. 1: Constellation Diagrams of BASK, BFSK, and BPSK [↗] BPSK Modulation Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb or −√Eb , where Eb is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1 . AWGN Channel The channel adds Gaussian noise with zero mean and variance N₀/2 (where N₀ is the noise power spectral density). Receiver Decision The receiver decides if the received signal is closer to +√Eb (for bit 0) or −√Eb (for bit 1) . Bit Error Rat...

    OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

    This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...
