Description

Digital Modulations using Matlab is a learner-friendly, practical and example driven book, that gives you a solid background in building simulation models for digital modulations systems in Matlab. This book, an essential guide for understanding the implementation aspects of a digital modulation system, shows how to simulate and model a digital modulation system from scratch. The implemented simulation models shown in this book, mostly will not use any of the inbuilt communication toolbox functions and hence provide an opportunity for an engineer to understand the basic implementation aspects of modeling various building blocks of a digital modulation system. It presents the following key topics with required theoretical background along with the implementation details in the form of Matlab scripts.

Key features

  • Basics of signal processing essential for implementing digital modulation techniques – generation of test signals, interpreting FFT results, power and energy of a signal, methods to compute convolution, analytic signal and applications.
  • Waveform and complex equivalent baseband simulation models.
  • Digital modulation techniques covered: BPSK and its variants, QPSK and its variants, M-ary PSK, M-ary QAM, M-ary PAM, CPM, MSK, GMSK,M-ary FSK. * Monte Carlo simulation for ascertaining performance of digital modulation techniques in AWGN and fading channels – Eb/N0 Vs BER curves.
  • Design and implementation of linear equalizers – zero forcing and MMSE equalizers, using them in a communication link.
  • Simulation and performance of modulation systems with receiver impairments.

    • Thanks for the feedback. I just found out the reason for the bug. The code is updated in the recent revisions of the book but the update was not picked up in the code package. I have sent you the updated files that include the fix.

      Thank you for your valuable feedback. I spent some time reviewing the code package and made sure the updates are picked up in the downloads.

  1. All the topics well covered with theoretically. The topics are explained in a concise and sufficient and their details are included. Simulations are really good and understandable written. It’s good way to learn digital modulations and improve background theoretically with simulations.

    Thanks Mathuranathan!

  2. If you bought the physical copies of the books, is there a way that you can get the ebook or do you have to buy it separately?

  3. Pls does the topic 6.4.1 Blind estimation and compensation offers a basic Matlab script for I/Q impairment and blind (circularity-based) compensation ?
    Thanks

    • Yes, it has basic matlab script to estimate and compensate IQ impairments for the single-branch IQ impairment model. Previous section also has matlab script to to create IQ imbalance impairment in a complex baseband.

      The entire book has examples on each topics described. All script written from scratch, no in-built functions from communication toolbox is used in the scripts. So you can understand each and every detail that will help in building your own programs. Thank you.

  4. Does the topic 2.2.3 “End-to-end simulation” of BPSK deal with timing synchronization?
    and what about the phase and frequency?

      • Dear Mathurathan,
        I have a query related to data rate. am posting here since i couldn’t find related topic anywhere.

        Suppose say, my transmitter transmits at a rate of 1MHz and receiver is capable of receiving at a rate of 10 MHz. I want to estimate the channel in between at the rate of 10MHz (i.e sampling the medium).
        So, basically I need to do some interpolation filtering such that even though the transmitter is at lower rate, it should mimic as it is transmitting at higher rate.
        How do to that mathematically.
        Please help
