MATLAB Code

% The code is written by SalimWireless.Com

% Clear previous data and plots
clc; % Clear the command window
clear all; % Remove all variables from the workspace
close all; % Close all figure windows

% Parameters
Tb = 1; % Bit duration in seconds
fc = 10; % Carrier frequency in Hz
N = 10; % Number of bits to transmit

% Generate carrier signal
t = 0:Tb/100:1; % Time vector for one bit duration with 100 samples
carrier_signal = sqrt(2/Tb) * sin(2*pi*fc*t); % Normalized carrier signal

% Generate message signal
rng(10); % Set random seed for reproducibility
binary_data = rand(1, N); % Generate random binary data between 0 and 1

% Initialize time intervals for message bits
t_start = 0;
t_end = Tb;

% Loop to generate and modulate each bit
for i = 1:N
t = t_start:0.01:t_end; % Time vector for current bit duration

% Generate binary message signal (1 or 0)
if binary_data(i) > 0.5
binary_data(i) = 1;
message_signal = ones(1, length(t)); % Bit value 1
else
binary_data(i) = 0;
message_signal = zeros(1, length(t)); % Bit value 0
end

% Store message signal
message(i,:) = message_signal;

% Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) modulation
ask_signal(i,:) = carrier_signal .* message_signal;

% Update time intervals for next bit
t_start = t_start + (Tb + 0.01);
t_end = t_end + (Tb + 0.01);
end

Direction of Arrival (DoA) Online Simulator (using MUSIC)

Interactive DOA Simulator X-axis XY angle (deg): 45 XZ angle (deg): 30 Noise: 0.05 Y-axis XY angle (deg): 60 YZ angle (deg): 45 Noise: 0.05 Z-axis XZ angle (deg): 60 YZ angle (deg): 30 Noise: 0.05 Estimated DOA (deg): 0 Simulation Workflow and Mathematical Background This simulator demonstrates Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation using three-axis sensor signals (X, Y, Z), Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) , and the MUSIC algorithm . It allows interactive control of signal angles and noise for teaching purposes. 1. Signal Generation A pure sinewave signal of frequency f is projected onto three axes using user-defined angles in different planes: X-axis: θ XY , θ XZ Y-axis: θ XY , θ YZ Z-axis: θ XZ , θ YZ Mathematically, for each time sample t : x(t) = s(t) * cos(θ_xy_x) * cos(θ_xz_x) + n_x(t) y(t) = s(t) * sin(θ_xy_y) * cos(θ_yz_y) + n_y(t) z(t) = s(t) * sin(θ_xz_z) * sin(θ_yz_z) + n_z(t) wh...

Constellation Diagrams of ASK, PSK, and FSK (with MATLAB Code + Simulator)

Constellation Diagrams: ASK, FSK, and PSK Comprehensive guide to signal space representation, including interactive simulators and MATLAB implementations. 📘 Overview 🧮 Simulator ⚖️ Theory 📈 Q-function 📚 Resources BASK Modulation Transmits one of two signals: 0 or $\sqrt{E_b}$, representing binary 0 and 1. Simple but sensitive to noise. BFSK Modulation Transmits one of two signals: $\sqrt{E_b}$ on the Y-axis or $\sqrt{E_b}$ on the X-axis. These are orthogonal signals. BPSK Modulation Transmits $+\sqrt{E_b}$ or $-\sqrt{E_b}$ (antipodal signaling). Most efficient binary scheme. ...

OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...
