% PAM Modulation
% Map the data symbols to PAM levels
pamLevels = linspace(-M + 1, M - 1, M); % PAM levels
modulatedSignal = pamLevels(data + 1); % Map data to PAM levels


% Create a time vector
t = 0:1/Fs:T*numSymbols-1/Fs;


% Upsample and create PAM signal
upsampledSignal = zeros(1, length(t));
for i = 1:numSymbols
upsampledSignal((i-1)*Fs+1:i*Fs) = modulatedSignal(i);
end


% Add some noise
snr = 20; % Signal-to-noise ratio
noisySignal = awgn(upsampledSignal, snr, 'measured');


% PAM Demodulation
% Sample the noisy signal at symbol rate
receivedSymbols = noisySignal(1:Fs:end);


% Map received symbols to nearest PAM level

What is Bit Error Rate (BER)? The abbreviation BER stands for bit error rate, which indicates how many corrupted bits are received (after the demodulation process) compared to the total number of bits sent in a communication process. It is defined as,  In mathematics, BER = (number of bits received in error / total number of transmitted bits)  On the other hand, SNR refers to the signal-to-noise power ratio. For ease of calculation, we commonly convert it to dB or decibels.   What is Signal the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)? SNR = signal power/noise power (SNR is a ratio of signal power to noise power) SNR (in dB) = 10*log(signal power / noise power) [base 10] For instance,...

Constellation Diagrams of ASK, PSK, and FSK

BASK (Binary ASK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: 0 or -√Eb, where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.    BFSK (Binary FSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ ( On the y-axis, the phase shift of 90 degrees with respect to the x-axis, which is also termed phase offset ) or √Eb (on x-axis), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.  BPSK (Binary PSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ or -√Eb (they differ by 180 degree phase shift), where Eb​ is the energy per bit.

Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK | And the definitions of each

Modulation ASK, FSK & PSK Constellation MATLAB Simulink MATLAB Code Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK    Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK Comparison among ASK,  FSK, and PSK Performance Comparison: 1. Noise Sensitivity:    - ASK is the most sensitive to noise due to its reliance on amplitude variations.    - PSK is less sensitive to noise compared to ASK.    - FSK is relatively more robust against noise, making it suitable for noisy environments. 2. Bandwidth Efficiency:    - PSK is the most bandwidth-efficient, requiring less bandwidth than FSK for the same data rate.    - FSK requires wider bandwidth compared to PSK.    - ASK's bandwidth efficiency lies between FSK and PSK.

Theoretical BER vs SNR for BPSK

Let's simplify the explanation for the theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) in an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel.  Key Points Fig 1: Constellation Diagrams of BASK, BFSK, and BPSK [↗] BPSK Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb ​ or -√Eb , where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1 . AWGN Channel: The channel adds Gaussian noise with zero mean and variance N0/2 (where N0 ​ is the noise power spectral density). Receiver Decision: The receiver decides if the received signal is closer to +√Eb​ (for bit 0) or -√Eb​ (for bit 1) . Bit Error Rate (BER) The probability of error (BER) for BPSK is given by a function called the Q-function. The Q-function Q(x) measures the tail probability of the normal distribution, i.e., the probability that a Gaussian random variable exceeds a certain value x.  Understanding the Q...
