In this post, the objective is to figure out the minimum separation between two sinusoidals having frequencies , of duration each to be orthogonal. Let the phase difference between the sinusoidals is where can take any value from to (Refer Example 4.3 [DIG-COMM-SKLAR]). For the two sinuosidals to be orthogonal,
Question 7 on digital from GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2012 Electronics and Communication Engineering paper. Q7. The output Y of a 2-bit comparator is logic 1 whenever the 2 bit input A is greater than 2 bit input B. The number of combinations for which output is logic 1 is (A) 4 (B)…
An earlier post we discussed hard decision decoding for a Hamming (7,4) code and simulated the the bit error rate. In this post, let us focus on the soft decision decoding for the Hamming (7,4) code, and quantify the bounds in the performance gain.
Following the request by Siti Naimah, this post discuss the bit error probability for coherent demodulation of binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) along with a small Matlab code snippet. Using the definition provided in Sec 4.4.4 of [DIG-COMM-SKLAR]), in binary Frequency shift keying (BFSK), the bits 0’s and 1’s are represented by signals and having…
In this post, let us derive the theoretical bit error probability for 16PSK modulation using Gray coded mapping. For deriving the equation, we will refer material from the following posts: (a) Symbol Error Rate for 16PSK (b) Gray code to Binary code conversion for PSK (c) Binary to Gray code conversion for PSK As discussed…
In the past, we had discussed BER for BPSK in flat fading Rayleigh channel. In this post, lets discuss a frequency selective channel with the use of Zero Forcing (ZF) equalization to compensate for the inter symbol interference (ISI). For simplifying the discussion, we will assume that there is no pulse shaping at the transmitter….
While browsing through the web for materials on the wireless communication and implementation, found this rich set of articles as part of MIT OPEN COURSEWARE program. The course is from Vladimir Stojanovic, course materials for 6.973 Communication System Design, Spring 2006. MIT OpenCourseWare (http://ocw.mit.edu/), Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In a previous post, we had discussed a 2×2 MIMO transmission using BPSK modulation in Rayleigh channel with a Zero Forcing equalizer. The simulated results with the 2×2 MIMO system with zero forcing equalizer showed matching results as obtained in for a 1×1 system for BPSK modulation in Rayleigh channel. In this post, we will…
I happened to visit ‘The Digital Signal Processing Blog’, maintained by Mr. Andres Kwasinski, Ph. D. In the blog one can find details about the upcoming IEEE conferences pertaining to communication and multimedia processing. Further, in some of the posts, author shares his thoughts on topics like fixed point arithmetic (here) and wavelets (here) etc….
In a classification problem, the output (also called the label or class) takes a small number of discrete values rather than continuous values. For a simple binary classification problem, where output takes only two discrete values : 0 or 1, the sigmoid function can be used to transform the output of a linear regression model…
In a multi class classification problem, the output (also called the label or class) takes a finite set of discrete values . In this post, system model for a multi class classification with a linear layer followed by softmax layer is defined. The softmax function transforms the output of a linear layer into values lying…
