Digital Modulations using Matlab: Build Simulation Models from Scratch

by Mathuranathan Viswanathan, Varsha Mathuranathan (Editor)

Digital Modulations using Matlab is a learner-friendly, practical and example driven book, that gives you a solid background in building simulation models for digital modulation systems in Matlab. This book, an essential guide for understanding the implementation aspects of a digital modulation system, shows how to simulate and model a digital modulation system from scratch. The implemented simulation models shown in this book, mostly will not use any of the inbuilt communication toolbox functions and hence provide an opportunity for an engineer to understand the basic implementation aspects of modeling various building blocks of a digital modulation system. It presents the following key topics with required theoretical background along with the implementation details in the form of Matlab scripts. * Basics of signal processing essential for implementing digital modulation techniques - generation of test signals, interpreting FFT results, power and energy of a signal, methods to compute convolution, analytic signal and applications. * Waveform and complex equivalent baseband simulation models. * Digital modulation techniques BPSK and its variants, QPSK and its variants, M-ary PSK, M-ary QAM, M-ary PAM, CPM, MSK, GMSK,M-ary FSK. * Monte Carlo simulation for ascertaining performance of digital modulation techniques in AWGN and fading channels - Eb/N0 Vs BER curves. * Design and implementation of linear equalizers - Zero forcing and MMSE equalizers, using them in a communication link. * Simulation and performance of modulation systems with receiver impairments.
