Generation of random variables with required probability distribution characteristic is of paramount importance in simulating a communication system. Let’s see how we can generate a simple random variable, estimate and plot the probability density function … Read more

Random Variables, CDF and PDF

Introduction to Probability: The Foundation of Random Signals In the world of communication engineering, “certainty” is a luxury we don’t have. From the thermal noise in your smartphone’s receiver to the fading of a satellite signal, every process we analyze is governed by uncertainty. Probability is the mathematical language that allows us to model these … Read more
