MATLAB Script:

% clearing the output terminal / command window in MATLAB
clc
clear all
% 'imread'command is used to read an image file
% it reads the pixel values of an image matrix
i= imread('.../index.tif');
% 'rgb2grey' command convert the pixel intensity into grey scale value
Image= rgb2gray(i);
% pixel values are stored as 'double' variable as value can exceed from 127
% we can store values ranges from -128 to 127 as 'int' variable
I = double(Image);            

% you know that image pixels usually have 256 distinct intensity levels
% and usually 8 bits / pixel hold the intensity information of grey image
% while 24 bits / pixel hold the intensity informaton of RGB image
% extracting bit one by one from c1(first bit) to c8(last bit) respectively
r1 = mod(I, 2);            % Bit1
r2 = mod(floor(I/2), 2);   % Bit2
r3 = mod(floor(I/4), 2);   % Bit3
r4 = mod(floor(I/8), 2);   % Bit4
r5 = mod(floor(I/16), 2);  % Bit5

r7 = mod(floor(I/64), 2);  % Bit7
r8 = mod(floor(I/128), 2); % Bit8

Q-function in BER vs SNR Calculation (with Simulation)

Q-function in BER vs. SNR Calculation In digital communications and signal processing, the Q-function plays a significant role in predicting system reliability. It allows engineers to quantify the probability that Gaussian noise will exceed a specific threshold, causing a bit error. What is the Q-function? The Q-function is a mathematical function representing the tail probability of the standard normal (Gaussian) distribution. It is the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of a standard Gaussian distribution. Q(x) = (1 / √(2Ï€)) ∫â‚“∞ e^(-t² / 2) dt Q-Function Interactive Simulator Move the slider to see how the "Tail Probability" (the area in red) changes. This area represents the Probability of Error (BER) . Threshold Distance ( x ) — (Simulates Increasing SNR) x = 1.0 Q(x) = 0.1587 ...

Design of CMOS Flip-Flops (SR, D, JK)

Design of CMOS Flip-Flops (SR, D, JK) A flip-flop or latch is a circuit with two stable states, used to store state information. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic and a fundamental building block in digital electronics systems, including computers and communication devices. Flip-flops and latches act as data storage elements for states, pulse counting, and synchronization of variably-timed input signals to a reference clock. Flip-flops can be transparent/opaque (latches) or clocked (synchronous, edge-triggered). Latches are level-sensitive, while flip-flops are edge-sensitive. In sequential logic, the output depends on current inputs and previous states. Fig.1 shows a sequential circuit combining a combinational block and a memory element. ...

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a method of controlling the average power delivered by an electrical signal.   Fig: An example of PWM in an idealized inductor driven by a blue line voltage source modulated as a series of sawtooth pulses, resulting in a red line current in the inductor.    Generating a PWM Signal The simplest way to generate a PWM signal is the intersection method, which requires only a sawtooth or a triangle waveform (easily generated using a simple oscillator) and a comparator. When the value of the reference signal is more than the modulation waveform, the PWM signal (magenta) is in the high state; otherwise, it is in the low state.      Duty cycle A low duty cycle equates to low power because the power is off for most of the time; the word duty cycle reflects the ratio of "on" time to the regular interval or "period" of time. The duty cycle is measured in percent, with 100% representing full o...

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation & Demodulation (with Simulation)

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Theoretical Foundations: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is a discrete frequency modulation scheme wherein the digital information is encoded via instantaneous shifts in the carrier signal's frequency. The fundamental implementation is Binary FSK (BFSK), which maps binary data onto two distinct, discrete spectral states. A binary '1' (the "mark" state) is represented by a carrier frequency \( f_1 \), while a binary '0' (the "space" state) corresponds to frequency \( f_2 \). Each symbol is sustained for a bit interval denoted by \( T_b \). FSK Transmitter Characterization: The mathematical model for the modulated BFSK output \( s(t) \) is defined as: \[ s(t) = \begin{cases} A_c \cos(2\pi f_1 t), & \text{for } m = 1 \\ A_c \cos(2\pi f_2 t), & \text{for } m = 0 \end{cases} \] ...
