In previous posts, we have discussed convolutional codes with Viterbi decoding (hard decision, soft decision and with finite traceback). Let us know discuss a block coding scheme where a group of information bits is mapped into coded bits. Such codes are referred to as codes. We will restrict the discussion to Hamming codes, where 4…
The post on thermal noise described the noise produced by resistor ohms over bandwidth at temperature Kelvin. In this post, let us define the noise voltage at the input and output of a resistor network and further use it to define the Noise Figure of such a network.
In this post, we will derive the theoretical equation for bit error rate (BER) with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation scheme in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. The BER results obtained using Matlab/Octave & Python simulation scripts show good agreement with the derived theoretical results. System Model Transmitter With Binary Phase Shift Keying…
Question 24 on math from GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2012 Electronics and Communication Engineering paper. Q24. Two independent random variables X and Y are uniformly distributed in the interval [-1, 1]. The probability that max[X,Y] is less than 1/2 is (A) 3/4 (B) 9/16 (C) 1/4 (D) 2/3
Hi, Those visiting the blog might have noticed a fresh look to the dspLog. This new feel is thanks to the Thesis Magazine Skin provided by FourBlogger Skins. Click here to view more details. There some more tinkering required at some places. But, in general most of the settings are taken care. Hope you like…
This is the first post in the series discussing receiver diversity in a wireless link. Receiver diversity is a form of space diversity, where there are multiple antennas at the receiver. The presence of receiver diversity poses an interesting problem – how do we use ‘effectively‘ the information from all the antennas to demodulate the…
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)))…
In a post on Minimum Shift Keying (MSK), we had discussed that MSK uses two frequencies which are separated by and phase discontinuity is avoided in symbol boundaries. In that post, we had discussed MSK as a continuous phase transmit signal and showed that phase changes through 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. In this…
In Problem 4.36 of DSP-Proakis [1], the task is to provide insights into harmonic distortion which may be present in practical sinusoidal generators. Consider the signal , where . My take: The discrete time signal of fundamental period can consist of frequency components separated by radians or cycles (Refer Section4.2 in [1]). The Fourier series…
Question 26 on Electronic Devices from GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2012 Electronics and Communication Engineering paper. Q26. The source of a silicon (), n-channel MOS transistor has an area of and a depth of . If the dopant density in the source is , the number of holes in the source region with…
In problem 9.14 of DSP-Proakis, the objective is to analyze the effect of zero-order interpolation and first-order interpolation to double the number of samples in the sinusoidal while keeping the sampling frequency unchanged. My take: The first part of the problem (a) is to generate the sequence having half the frequency of . For zero-order…

The maximum value of in the interval [1, 6] is (A) 21 (B) 25 (C) 41 (D) 46 Solution Let us start by finding the critical points of the function . The first derivative is, . Solving by…
We have quite a few articles discussing bit and symbol error rates for popular digital modulation schemes in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. This post summarizes the articles discussing the theoretical and simulated error rates for the digital modulation schemes like BPSK, QPSK, 4–PAM, 16PSK and 16QAM. Further, Bit Error Rate with Gray coded…
