Rician flat-fading channel – simulation

by

In wireless environments, transmitted signal may be subjected to multiple scatterings before arriving at the receiver. This gives rise to random fluctuations in the received signal and this phenomenon is called fading. The scattered version of the signal is designated as non line of sight (NLOS) component. If the number of NLOS components are sufficiently … Read more

Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) architecture simulation

by

In the previous post on Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) models for receive diversity, various receiver diversity techniques were outlined. One of them is maximum ratio combining, the focus of the topic here. Channel model Assuming flat slow fading channel, the received signal model is given by where, is the channel impulse response, is the … Read more

MPSK modulation: simulate in Matlab & Python

by

A generic complex baseband simulation technique, to simulate all M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) modulation techniques is given here. The given simulation code is very generic, and it plots both simulated and theoretical symbol error rates for all MPSK modulation techniques. M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) modulation In phase shift keying, all the information gets … Read more
