1. Array Geometry

End-fire (0°) Broadside (90°) End-fire (180°)

Theoretical Concept

As per Figure 2, the extra path distance to reach the next element is \(d \cos\theta\). For \(d = \lambda/2\), the phase shift \(\psi\) between elements is:

\[ \psi = \pi \cos(\theta) \]

The array response vector \(a(\theta)\) becomes:

[1, e^{j\psi}, e^{j2\psi}, ...]

2. Phase Vector Visualization

3. Resulting Beam Pattern

The main lobe "points" to \(\theta\) by constructive interference.

How to use MATLAB Simulink

Introduction to MATLAB Simulink MATLAB Simulink is a popular add-on of MATLAB. Here, you can use different blocks like modulator, demodulator, AWGN channel, etc. And you can do experiments on your own. Steps to Get Started 1. Go to the 'Simulink' tab at the top navbar of MATLAB. If not found, click on the add-on tab, search 'Simulink,' and then click on it to add. 2. Once you installed the simulation, click the 'new' tap at the top left corner. 3. Then, search the required blocks in the 'Simulink library.' Then, drag it to the editor space. 4. You can double-click on the blocks to see the input parameters. 5. Then, connect the blocks by dragging a line from one block's output terminal to another block's input. 6. If the connection is complete, click the 'run' tab in the middle of the top navbar. 7. After clicking on the run ...

OFDM Waveform with MATLAB Code (with Simulator)

  In OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) , we transmit multiple orthogonal subcarriers simultaneously. Since the subcarriers are orthogonal , they do not interfere with each other, which is one of the main advantages of OFDM. Practically, OFDM converts a wideband signal into multiple narrowband orthogonal subcarriers. For typical wireless communication, if the signal bandwidth (or symbol duration) exceeds the coherence bandwidth of the channel, the signal experiences frequency-selective fading . Fading distorts the signal, making it difficult to recover the original information. By using OFDM, we transmit the same wideband signal across multiple orthogonal narrowband subcarriers, reducing the effect of fading. For example, if we want to transmit a signal of bandwidth 1024 kHz , we can divide it into N = 8 subcarriers . Each subcarrier is then spaced by: Δf = Total Bandwidth N = 1024 8 kHz...

Theoretical BER vs SNR for binary ASK, FSK, and PSK with MATLAB Code + Simulator

📘 Overview & Theory 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading Bit Error Rate (BER) Equations In ASK, noise directly affects the signal amplitude, making it the most vulnerable since the data is carried in amplitude changes. In FSK, data is represented by frequency variations, and because noise typically impacts amplitude more than frequency, FSK is more robust than ASK. In PSK, data is encoded in the signal phase, and BPSK specifically uses 180-degree phase shifts, creating the greatest separation between signal points and therefore achieving the lowest bit error rate (BER) for the same power level. BER formulas for ASK, FSK, and PSK modulation schemes. ASK BER = 0.5 × erfc(0.5 × √SNR) FSK BER = 0.5 × erfc(√(SNR / 2)) PSK BER = 0.5 × erfc(√SNR) erfc / Q-func...

Here, we modulate the symbols by varying the carrier signal's amplitude and phase in response to the variation in the message signal (or voltage variation). So, we may say that QAM is a combination of phase and amplitude modulation. Additionally, it performs better than ASK or PSK [↗] . In fact, any constellation for any type of modulatio...

Theoretical vs. simulated BER vs. SNR for ASK, FSK, and PSK (MATLAB Code + Simulator)

📘 Overview 🧮 Simulator 💻 Theoretical Code 📊 Simulated Code 📚 Resources Overview BER vs. SNR denotes how many bits in error are received for a given signal-to-noise ratio, typically measured in dB. Common noise types in wireless systems: 🚀 1. Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) 🌊 2. Rayleigh Fading AWGN adds random noise; Rayleigh fading attenuates the signal variably. A good SNR helps reduce these effects. Bit Error Rate (BER) Equations BER formulas for ASK, FSK, and PSK modulation schemes.

FastAPI Static Files – Overview

FastAPI Static Files Often, a web application needs to include resources that do not change, even when dynamic data is rendered. These resources are called static assets . Examples of static files include: Images ( .png , .jpg ) JavaScript files ( .js ) Stylesheets ( .css ) Installing Required Library To handle static files in FastAPI, you need the aiofiles library. pip install aiofiles Mounting Static Files FastAPI uses the StaticFiles class to serve static content. You mount a folder (usually named static ) so that all files inside it can be accessed via a URL. from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles app = FastAPI() app.mount("/static", StaticFiles(directory="static"), name="static") Example 1: Using an Image Place an image file (for example, fa-logo.png ) inside the static folder. main.py from fastapi import FastAPI, Request from fastapi.responses import HTMLRespon...
