Alamouti's Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) is a technique used in MIMO wireless communication systems to achieve diversity gain without requiring channel knowledge at the transmitter. It involves transmitting multiple copies of the same symbols over multiple antennas with specific phase relationships. This allows the receiver to combine the signals effectively and recover the transmitted symbols even in the presence of fading. The Alamouti precoding matrix is constructed based on the Alamouti code, which defines the phase relationships between the symbols transmitted from different antennas over two consecutive time slots. For a 2x1 MIMO system (two transmit antennas and one receive antenna), the Alamouti precoding matrix is as follows: Precoding Matrix=[s1 −s2∗; s2 s1∗] Where: s1 and s2 are the symbols to be transmitted from the two antennas in the current time slot. s1∗​ and s2∗​ are the complex conjugates of s1​ and s2​ respectively. This matrix ensures that the sy

Filters What is +/- 3dB Frequency Response? Remember, for most of the pass-band filters, the magnitude of the desired frequency range varies by 3dB. It is common for most of the pass-band filters. The term '3dB frequency response' is used frequently to indicate that power has decreased to 50% of its maximum or original amount. However, it also states that the signal voltages have reduced to 0.707 of their highest value. So, The -3dB comes from either 20 Log (0.707) or 10 Log (0.5) . Viewing the signal in the frequency domain is quite helpful. In electronic amplifiers, the +/-3dB limit is commonly utilized. It makes it clear whether or not the signal is a flat pass-band. You can observe that the signal in the case of pulse shaping is nearly flat along +/-3dB bandwidth. The phrase "+/-3 dB" originally meant flatness in the above figure, not high- and low-frequency extension. For instance, one could state that "between 1

Modulation ASK, FSK & PSK Constellation MATLAB Simulink MATLAB Code Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK Comparisons among ASK, PSK, and FSK ASK or OFF ON Keying Ask is a simple (less complex) Digital Modulation Scheme where we vary the modulation signal's amplitude or voltage by the message signal's amplitude or voltage. We select two levels (two different voltage levels) for transmitting modulated message signals for the exam. And for example, we mapped the signal as two-level "+5 Volt" (which is the upper level) and another level, "0 Volt," which is considered as the lower level. Whenever we need to transmit binary bit "1," then the transmitter transmits a signal of "+5 Volts," and when we need to send bit "0," then it transmits no power. But the receiver is intelligent enough to deflect whether you've sent binary bit "1" or "0

Modulation Constellation Diagrams BER vs. SNR BER vs SNR for M-QAM, M-PSK, QPSk, BPSK, ... 1. What is Bit Error Rate (BER)? The abbreviation BER stands for bit error rate, which indicates how many corrupted bits are received (after the demodulation process) compared to the total number of bits sent in a communication process. It is defined as, In mathematics, BER = (number of bits received in error / total number of transmitted bits) On the other hand, SNR refers to the signal-to-noise power ratio. For ease of calculation, we commonly convert it to dB or decibels. 2. What is Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)? SNR = signal power/noise power (SNR is a ratio of signal power to noise power) SNR (in dB) = 10*log(signal power / noise power) [base 10] For instance, the SNR for a given communication system is 3dB. So, SNR (in ratio) = 10^{SNR (in dB) / 10} = 2 Therefore, in this instance, the signal power is twice as

Wireless Signal Processing CIR, Doppler Shift & Gaussian Random Variable The Channel Impulse Response (CIR) is a concept primarily used in the field of telecommunications and signal processing. It provides information about how a communication channel responds to an impulse signal. What is the Channel Impulse Response (CIR) ? It describes the behavior of a communication channel in response to an impulse signal. In signal processing, an impulse signal has zero amplitude at all other times and amplitude ∞ at time 0 for the signal. Using a Dirac Delta function, we can approximate this. ...(i) δ( t) now has a very intriguing characteristic. The answer is 1 when the Fourier Transform of δ( t) is calculated. As a result, all frequencies are responded to equally by δ (t). This is crucial since we never know which frequencies a system will affect when examining an unidentified one. Since it can test the system for all frequencies, δ( t) bec

Signal Processing RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread, and Multipath... RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread, and Multipath (MPCs) The fundamental distinction between wireless and wired connections is that in wireless connections signal reaches at receiver thru multipath signal propagation rather than directed transmission like co-axial cable. Wireless Communication has no set communication path between the transmitter and the receiver. The line of sight path, also known as the LOS path, is the shortest and most direct communication link between TX and RX. The other communication pathways are called non-line of sight (NLOS) paths. Reflection and refraction of transmitted signals with building walls, foliage, and other objects create NLOS paths. [ Read More about LOS and NLOS Paths] Multipath Components or MPCs: The linear nature of the multipath component signals is evident. This signifies that one multipath component signal is a scalar multiple of

Modulation ASK, FSK & PSK Constellation BASK (Binary ASK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: 0 or -√Eb, where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1. BFSK (Binary FSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ ( On the y-axis, the phase shift of 90 degrees with respect to the x-axis, which is also termed phase offset ) or √Eb (on x-axis), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1. BPSK (Binary PSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ or -√Eb (they differ by 180 degree phase shift), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1. This article will primarily discuss constellation diagrams, as well as what constellation diagrams tell us and the significance of constellation diagrams. Constellation diagrams can often demonstrate how the amplitude and phase of signals or symbols differ. These two characteristics lessen the interference between t
