Ofdm

The document describes simulating a communication system in MATLAB using System objects. It modulates data using QPSK, applies OFDM, transmits over an AWGN channel, then demodulates and calculates bit errors. Key steps are constructing QPSK, OFDM, and channel objects, simulating over a range of SNRs, and comparing simulated and theoretical BER.

%% QPSK and OFDM with MATLAB System Objects

% This example shows how to simulate a basic communication system in which


% the signal is first QPSK modulated and then subjected to Orthogonal
% Frequency Division Multiplexing. The signal is then passed through an
% additive white Gaussian noise channel prior to being demultiplexed and
% demodulated. Lastly, the number of bit errors are calculated. The example
% showcases the use of MATLAB(R) System objects(TM).
%%
% Set the simulation parameters.

% Number of OFDM subcarriers

% OFDM cyclic prefix length
maxBitErrors = 100;
% Maximum number of bit errors
maxNumBits = 1e7;
% Maximum number of bits transmitted
%%
% Construct System objects needed for the simulation: QPSK modulator, QPSK
% demodulator, OFDM modulator, OFDM demodulator, AWGN channel, and an error
% rate calculator. Use name-value pairs to set the object properties.
