Fading : Slow & Fast and Large & Small Scale Fading (with MATLAB Code + Simulator)

📘 Overview 📘 LARGE SCALE FADING 📘 SMALL SCALE FADING 📘 SLOW FADING 📘 FAST FADING 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading LARGE SCALE FADING The term 'Large scale fading' is used to describe variations in received signal power over a long distance, usually just considering shadowing.  Assume that a transmitter (say, a cell tower) and a receiver  (say, your smartphone) are in constant communication. Take into account the fact that you are in a moving vehicle. An obstacle, such as a tall building, comes between your cell tower and your vehicle's line of sight (LOS) path. Then you'll notice a decline in the power of your received signal on the spectrogram. Large-scale fading is the term for this type of phenomenon. SMALL SCALE FADING  Small scale fading is a term that describes rapid fluctuations in the received signal power on a small time scale. This includes multipath propagation effects as well as movement-induced Doppler fr...

Theoretical BER vs SNR for binary ASK, FSK, and PSK with MATLAB Code + Simulator

📘 Overview & Theory 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading Theoretical BER vs SNR for Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) The theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) for binary ASK depends on how binary bits are mapped to signal amplitudes. For typical cases: If bits are mapped to 1 and -1, the BER is: BER = Q(√(2 × SNR)) If bits are mapped to 0 and 1, the BER becomes: BER = Q(√(SNR / 2)) Where: Q(x) is the Q-function: Q(x) = 0.5 × erfc(x / √2) SNR : Signal-to-Noise Ratio N₀ : Noise Power Spectral Density Understanding the Q-Function and BER for ASK Bit '0' transmits noise only Bit '1' transmits signal (1 + noise) Receiver decision threshold is 0.5 BER is given by: P b = Q(0.5 / σ) , where σ = √(N₀ / 2) Using SNR = (0.5)² / N₀, we get: BER = Q(√(SNR / 2)) Theoretical BER vs ...

DFTs-OFDM vs OFDM: Why DFT-Spread OFDM Reduces PAPR Effectively (with MATLAB Code)

DFT-spread OFDM (DFTs-OFDM) has lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) because it "spreads" the data in the frequency domain before applying IFFT, making the time-domain signal behave more like a single-carrier signal rather than a multi-carrier one like OFDM. Deeper Explanation: Aspect OFDM DFTs-OFDM Signal Type Multi-carrier Single-carrier-like Process IFFT of QAM directly QAM → DFT → IFFT PAPR Level High (due to many carriers adding up constructively) Low (less fluctuation in amplitude) Why PAPR is High Subcarriers can add in phase, causing spikes DFT "pre-spreads" data, smoothing it Used in Wi-Fi, LTE downlink LTE uplink (as SC-FDMA) In OFDM, all subcarriers can...

Drone Detection via Low Complexity Zadoff-Chu Sequence Root Estimation

Summary Based on  Yeung, 2025:  Yeung, C.K.A., Lo, B.F. and Torborg, S. Drone detection via low complexity zadoff-chu sequence root estimation. In 2020 IEEE 17th Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC) (pp. 1-4). IEEE, 2020, January.   The rise in drone usage—from agriculture and delivery to surveillance and racing—has introduced major privacy and security challenges. Modern drones often use OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) with Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences for synchronization. While powerful, detecting these sequences blindly (without knowing their parameters) remains a challenge. Aim This article presents a low-complexity solution to blindly detect ZC sequences used by unknown drones. The approach uses a novel double differential method that works without large correlation banks, making it efficient and real-time capable.
