Introduction
First, the objective of this laboratory is to generate and investigate 16QAM
and Non-Coherent FSK systems. Before start, we have to know some concepts
such:
- QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) is a method of combining two
amplitude-modulated (AM) signals into a single channel, thereby doubling the
effective bandwidth. QAM is used with pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) in
digital systems, especially in wireless applications.
- Root-raised-cosine: In signal processing, a root-raised-cosine filter (RRC),
sometimes known as square-root-raised-cosine filter (SRRC), is frequently
used as the transmit and receive filter in a digital communication system to
perform matched filtering. This helps in minimizing intersymbol interference
(ISI). The combined response of two such filters is that of the raised-cosine filter.
It obtains its name from the fact that its frequency response is the square root
of the frequency response of the raised-cosine filter.

- SER (symbol error rate) is the number of symbol changes (waveform
changes or signalling events) made to the transmission medium per second
using a digitally modulated signal or a line code. The symbol rate is measured
in baud (Bd) or symbols/second.
- ISI (intersymbol interference) is a form of distortion of a signal in which one
symbol interferes with subsequent symbols. This is an unwanted phenomenon
as the previous symbols have similar effect as noise, thus making the
communication less reliable.
- Matched Filter is obtained by correlating a known signal, or template, with an
unknown signal to detect the presence of the template in the unknown signal.
This is equivalent to convolving the unknown signal with a conjugated time-
reversed version of the template. The matched filter is the optimal linear filter
for maximizing the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the presence of additive
stochastic noise.
- FSK (Frequency-shift keying) is a frequency modulation scheme in which
digital information is transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier
wave.
- BER (Bit Error Rate) is the number of received bits of a data stream over a
communication channel that have been altered due to noise, interference,
distortion or bit synchronization errors. The bit error rate (BER) is the number
of bit errors divided by the total number of transferred bits during a studied time
interval.

Procedure
In this laboratory, we used the MatLab to analyze the signals. The GA gave
us the line code and we have two programs to evaluate, ncfsk_ex.m and
QAM16_ex.m. The ncfsk_ex.m is a program to simulate noncoherent FSK
receiver. First, we stipulate the length of data symbols that is 1000000 and we
generate he random phases on the two frequencies after we introduce the logic
to the code, we plot the figure that represents the BER (Bit Error Rate).
The second program, which is QAM16_ex.m, is a program that simulate 16
QAM baseband polar transmission over AWGN channel using a root raised
cosine pulse of rolloff factor alfa and matched filter receiver. First, we stipulate
the length of data symbol that is 1000000 and the roll of factor that is 1. To
display the pulse shape, the signal is oversampled by a factor of f_oversamp
and after, we generate root raised cosine pulseshape with rolloff factor alfa.
Finally, after introduce the logic to the code we plot the two figures, one
represents the symbol error probability of 16-QAM and the other one represents
the scatter plot of the matched filter output for the 16-QAM.

Results
1) In QAM16_ex.m, we control the transmission bandwidth by applying the
root-raised cosine pulse of roll of factor 0.5 as the baseband pulse shape.

- Explain the effect of increasing or decreasing the roll-off factor on the
two figures.
The effect of increasing or decreasing the roll-off factor on the two figure is
that just go down.
For each sample period T, eight uniform samples are used to approximate
and emulate the continuous time samples.
Figure 2 illustrate the signal constellation diagram of the in-phase (real) put
of the method filter output prior to begin sampled.
Very little ISI is observed at the point of sampling, validating the use of the root-
raised cosine pulse shape in conjunction with the matched filter detector for ISI
- free transmission.
- Explain Figure 1 and 2.
Figure 1 shows the symbol error probability of 16-QAM using root-raised
cosine pulse in comparison to the analytical result.
Figure 2 shows a scatter plot of the matched filter output for the 16-QAM
signaling with root-raised cosine pulse when Eb/N = 18dB.
- Is QAM successful in figure 2? Explain.
Yes. The success of QAM is shown via the real and imaginary PAM’s of the
samples factor at the matched filter output. Each dot represents a measured
sample, which clearly demonstrates the reliability of the decision that follows.
The fits are scattered (clustesed) closely around the original constellation point,
which makes the decision will be reliable.
- What does close clustering of measured sample points mean with
respect to SER?
The close-clustering of the measured sample points is a strong indication
that the SER will be very low.

2) In NCFSK_ex.m, we test the results of a no coherent binary receiver. We
assume the orthogonality of the two frequencies used.
Figure 3: BER
- Explain figure 1. (of Exll_4)
Figure 1 shows the BER from non-coherent detection of binary FSK.
- Does the measure BER match the analytical BER?
Yes, as we can see from the figure 3 the measure BER maches very well
the analytical BER.

Conclusion
We conclude that in this first laboratory of the course Digital
Communications we learned how to generate and investigate 16QAM and Non-
Coherent FSK systems. We also learned what is QAM (quadrature amplitude
modulation), Root-raised-cosine, SER (symbol error rate), ISI (intersymbol
interference), Matched Filter, FSK (Frequency-shift keying), and BER (Bit Error
Rate).
