Mini Project Ideas


1. You can do your mini project on analog communication topic such as FM, walkie-talkie, etc.

[1.1] Analog Communication Based Project

[1.2] MATLAB Code for Frequency Modulation (FM)


2. Compare the ASK, FSK, and PSK systems' relative performances.

(Include an introduction, concise descriptions of ASK, FSK, and PSK, MATLAB, and Simulink. You can then compare ASK, FSK, and PSK by creating BER vs. SNR graphs for each of those modulations, as well as by comparing their bandwidth, noise resistivity, complexity, and other characteristics.)

3. M-ary Modulation Based Mini Projects

(You can go for this project if you are interested in doing projects based on frequently used and modern modulation techniques. You can compare the performance analysis of various modulation schemes, like, bit rate, complexity, SNR v/s BER graph. You know frequently used modulation technique is m ary QPSK. But now QAM is also becoming popular due to its less complexity. But there is still some limitations in QAM due to its capacity in the context of noise handling. On the other hand m ary QPSK is better for very large constellation points but this technique is more complex than QAM. So, your primary goal may be investigating up to how many constellation points QAM is better than QPSK. Although, now we don't need to transfer data using QPSK with large constellation points. Obviously, in real world QAM is still used. 

For this mini project you can include a comparison of  bit and baud rate of different modulation techniques. You can start from primary modulation techniques like, ask, fsk to QPSK or QAM)


3. Telecommunication based mini project

(Here, you can discuss mechanism of telecommunication - from end user to telephone exchange office and exchange office to gateway. You can also discuss uplink and downlink connection, operating frequency, modulation used for a particular generation wireless communication. You can include the role of fiber optics in case of telecommunication, etc.)


4. Role of Equalizer in Wireless Communication

Theoretical BER vs SNR for m-ary PSK and QAM

Relationship Between Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) The relationship between Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is a fundamental concept in digital communication systems. Here’s a detailed explanation: BER (Bit Error Rate): The ratio of the number of bits incorrectly received to the total number of bits transmitted. It measures the quality of the communication link. SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio): The ratio of the signal power to the noise power, indicating how much the signal is corrupted by noise. Relationship The BER typically decreases as the SNR increases. This relationship helps evaluate the performance of various modulation schemes. BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying) Simple and robust. BER in AWGN channel: BER = 0.5 × erfc(√SNR) Performs well at low SNR. QPSK (Quadrature...

Q-function in BER vs SNR Calculation

Q-function in BER vs. SNR Calculation In the context of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) calculations, the Q-function plays a significant role, especially in digital communications and signal processing . What is the Q-function? The Q-function is a mathematical function that represents the tail probability of the standard normal distribution. Specifically, it is defined as: Q(x) = (1 / sqrt(2Ï€)) ∫â‚“∞ e^(-t² / 2) dt In simpler terms, the Q-function gives the probability that a standard normal random variable exceeds a value x . This is closely related to the complementary cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution. The Role of the Q-function in BER vs. SNR The Q-function is widely used in the calculation of the Bit Error Rate (BER) in communication systems, particularly in systems like Binary Phase Shift Ke...

Fading : Slow & Fast and Large & Small Scale Fading

📘 Overview 📘 LARGE SCALE FADING 📘 SMALL SCALE FADING 📘 SLOW FADING 📘 FAST FADING 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading LARGE SCALE FADING The term 'Large scale fading' is used to describe variations in received signal power over a long distance, usually just considering shadowing.  Assume that a transmitter (say, a cell tower) and a receiver  (say, your smartphone) are in constant communication. Take into account the fact that you are in a moving vehicle. An obstacle, such as a tall building, comes between your cell tower and your vehicle's line of sight (LOS) path. Then you'll notice a decline in the power of your received signal on the spectrogram. Large-scale fading is the term for this type of phenomenon. SMALL SCALE FADING  Small scale fading is a term that describes rapid fluctuations in the received signal power on a small time scale. This includes multipath propagation effects as well as movement-induced Doppler fr...

Theoretical BER vs SNR for binary ASK, FSK, and PSK

📘 Overview & Theory 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading Theoretical BER vs SNR for Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) The theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) for binary ASK depends on how binary bits are mapped to signal amplitudes. For typical cases: If bits are mapped to 1 and -1, the BER is: BER = Q(√(2 × SNR)) If bits are mapped to 0 and 1, the BER becomes: BER = Q(√(SNR / 2)) Where: Q(x) is the Q-function: Q(x) = 0.5 × erfc(x / √2) SNR : Signal-to-Noise Ratio N₀ : Noise Power Spectral Density Understanding the Q-Function and BER for ASK Bit '0' transmits noise only Bit '1' transmits signal (1 + noise) Receiver decision threshold is 0.5 BER is given by: P b = Q(0.5 / σ) , where σ = √(N₀ / 2) Using SNR = (0.5)² / N₀, we get: BER = Q(√(SNR / 2)) Theoretical BER vs ...
