In the post on Rayleigh channel model, we stated that a circularly symmetric random variable is of the form , where real and imaginary parts are zero mean independent and identically distributed (iid) Gaussian random variables. The magnitude which has the probability density, is called a Rayleigh random variable. Further, the phase is uniformly distributed from…

You will come to know the list of other sites (apart from dspLog.com) where the members have joined. You can add a member as a friend and so on. (b) You…
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….
I noticed that the scripts provided from http://wolverinex02.googlepages.com/emoticonsforblogger2 for writing equations on blogger stopped working. Reason: The address of the public mimeTEX server is changed to /cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi? from Thursday, March15 2007.
Following discussion of bit error rate (BER) for BPSK and bit error rate for FSK, it may be interesting to move on to discuss a higher order constellation such as Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM). Consider that the alphabets used for a 4-PAM is (Refer example 5-34 in [DIG-COMM-BARRY-LEE-MESSERSCHMITT]).
It might be interesting to interpret the output of the fft() function in Matlab. Consider the following simple examples. fsMHz = 20; % sampling frequency fcMHz = 1.5625; % signal frequency N = 128; % fft size % generating the time domain signal x1T = exp(j*2*pi*fcMHz*[0:N-1]/fsMHz); x1F = fft(x1T,N); % 128 pt FFT figure; plot([-N/2:N/2-1]*fsMHz/N,fftshift(abs(x1F)))…
Question 52 on communication from GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2012 Electronics and Communication Engineering paper. Q2. The power spectral density of a real process for positive frequencies is shown below. The values of and , respectively are (A) (B) (C) (D) Solution For a wide sense stationary function, the auto-correlation with delay is defined as,…
The post covers various neural network based word embedding models. Starting from the Neural Probabilistic Language Model from Bengio et al 2003, then reduction of complexity using Hierarchical softmax and Noise Contrastive Estimation. Further works like CBoW, GlOVe, Skip Gram and Negative Sampling which helped to train on much higher data.
Thanks to Prof. K V S Hari, I was informed that the centenary year for Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore starts on May 27th 2008. As part of the event, a conference with the theme Managing Complexity in a Distributed World (MCDES) is to be held at IISc from May27th to 31st 2008.
From the previous post on OFDM (here), we have understood that an OFDM waveform is made of sum of multiple sinusoidals (also called subcarriers) each modulated independently. In this post, let us try to understand the estimation of frequency offset in a typical OFDM receiver (using the short preamble specified per IEEE 802.11a specification as…
In this post, let us evaluate the impact of frequency offset resulting in Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) while receiving an OFDM modulated symbol. We will first discuss the OFDM transmission and reception, the effect of frequency offset and later we will define the loss of orthogonality and resulting signal to noise ratio (SNR) loss due…
This is a guest post by Jose Antonio Urigüen who is an Electrical and Electronic Engineer currently studying an MSc in Communications and Signal Processing at Imperial College in London. This guest post has been created due to his own curiosity when reviewing some concepts of BER for BPSK in Rayleigh channnel published in the…
Advanced Computing and Communication Society (ACS) of India is organizing ICCBN 2008 conference (International Conference on Communication, Convergence, and Broadband Networking) from July 17th to 20th 2008 at National Science Seminar Complex at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. ICCBN Conference aims to provide a premier forum for researchers, industry practitioners and educators to present…
