Simulation of ASK, FSK, and PSK using MATLAB Simulink

ASK, FSK & PSK HomePage MATLAB Simulation Simulation of Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) using MATLAB Simulink      In Simulink, we pick different components/elements from MATLAB Simulink Library. Then we connect the components and perform a particular operation.  Result A sine wave source, a pulse generator, a product block, a mux, and a scope are shown in the diagram above. The pulse generator generates the '1' and '0' bit sequences. Sine wave sources produce a specific amplitude and frequency. The scope displays the modulated signal as well as the original bit sequence created by the pulse generator. Mux is a tool for displaying both modulated and unmodulated signals at the same time. The result section shows that binary '1' is modulated by a certain sine wave amplitude of 1 Volt, and binary '0' is modulated by zero amplitude.

MIMO, massive MIMO, and Beamforming

  The term 'MIMO' was originally applied to systems with multiple antennas on both the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) sides. MIMO is a key component of Wi-Fi 4 and 5, 3G, and 4G cellular networks. This method was introduced to increase the capacity of a channel by sending multiple simultaneous data streams through a single channel. All simultaneous data streams in a MIMO system are encoded orthogonally multiplexed, which reduces interference. Massive MIMO is used extensively in 5G to achieve extremely high capacity and to communicate via  beamforming  or directional transmission. 1. Some essential characteristics of a MIMO system 1.1. Spatial Division Multiplexing Access (SDMA) SDMA is a key feature of MIMO, allowing a base station (BS) to communicate with several devices simultaneously (or even using the same frequency) if they are in different locations. There may be no knowledge of channel information at the transmitter. 1.2. Spatial Multiplexing Another essential ...

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,...

Calculation of SNR from FFT bins

  Here, you can find the SNR of a received signal from periodogram / FFT bins using the Kaiser operator. The beta (β) parameter characterizes the Kaiser window, which controls the trade-off between the main lobe width and the side lobe level in the frequency domain. For that you should know the sampling rate of the signal.  The Kaiser window is a type of window function commonly used in signal processing, particularly for designing finite impulse response (FIR) filters and performing spectral analysis. It is a general-purpose window that allows for control over the trade-off between the main lobe width (frequency resolution) and side lobe levels (suppression of spectral leakage). The Kaiser window is defined using a modified Bessel function of the first kind.    Steps Set up the sampling rate and time vector Compute the FFT and periodogram Plot the periodogram using FFT Specify parameters for Kaiser window and periodogram Calculate the frequency resolution and signal...

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...

MATLAB Code for QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)

  One of the best-performing modulation techniques is QAM [↗] . Here, we modulate the symbols by varying the carrier signal's amplitude and phase in response to the variation in the message signal (or voltage variation). So, we may say that QAM is a combination of phase and amplitude modulation. Additionally, it performs better than ASK or PSK [↗] . In fact, any constellation for any type of modulation, signal set (or, symbols) is structured in a way that prevents them from interacting further by being distinct by phase, amplitude, or frequency. MATLAB Script % This code is written by SalimWirelss.Com % This is an example of 4-QAM. Here constellation size is 4 % or total number of symbols/signals is 4 % We need 2 bits once to represent four constellation points % QAM modulation is the combination of Amplitude modulation plus % Phase Modulation. We map the decimal value of the input symbols, i.e., % 00, 01, 10, 11 to 1 + 1i, -1 + 1i, 1 - 1i, and -1 - 1i, respectively. clc;clear all;...
