EE 163A Communication Theory I: Communication System Analysis Project Part 3: M - PSK and M - QAM

This document provides instructions for an assignment involving simulating M-PSK and M-QAM communication systems to analyze symbol and bit error rates. Students are asked to: 1) Simulate M-PSK systems for M=2, 4, 8, 16 and plot theoretical and simulated symbol and bit error rate curves on single graphs. 2) Simulate M-QAM systems for M=4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and produce graphs comparing theoretical and simulated bit and symbol error rates. 3) Submit a 1-2 page report discussing results along with source code.

EE 163A Communication Theory I


Winter 2005 http://ee163.caltech.edu Communication System Analysis Project Part 3: M -PSK and M -QAM We will continue our investigation of phase shift keying systems by simulating an MPSK system, assuming the use of Gray coding, for M = 2, 4, 8, 16. Error probability range of interest is from 1 10 5 , corresponding to SNR from 0 20 dB. Compute and plot the simulated and theoretical symbol error rate curves for these four systems in a single graph. Produce another similar graph for the probability of bit error. For the theoretical plots use the approximation given in Eq. 5.2-62 of your text. For what range of signal-to-noise ratios does the approximation hold well, and where does it fail? Why? You are also to simulate an M -QAM system for M = 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Produce two sets of graphs showing the bit error and symbol error rate curves for these ve systems. Also show the theoretical results. Notes: Write your simulator in such a way so that you obtain the probability of a bit error and the probability of a symbol error at the same time and in one run, rather than in two separate runs. This is not a group project - you must work on this by yourself alone. Each individual should hand in a 1-2 page report that presents and discusses the results found. Please hand in (email) your source code as well, in one compressed le (zip or tar).
