Comm Lab8 Raised Cosine Eyediagram

This lab aims to implement a raised cosine filter and observe its effect on a digital communication channel using an eye diagram. A random data generator, QAM modulator, raised cosine transmit filter, AWGN channel, raised cosine receive filter, and eye diagram are used. The eye diagram is observed as the rolloff factor of the raised cosine filter is varied from 0.2 to 1.0 in steps of 0.2 to see the effect on the eye opening.

Lab 8: Implementation of Raised Cosine Filter and

Eye Diagram

Aim

To Implement a Raised Cosine Filter and see its effect on digital communication
channel using the Eye Diagram
Description
This Lab illustrates a typical setup in which a transmitter uses a square root raised
cosine filter to perform pulse shaping and the corresponding receiver uses a square root
raised cosine filter as a matched filter. The example plots an eye diagram from the
filtered received signal.

 Random Integer Generator, in the Random Data Sources sublibrary of the Comm Sources
library:
o M-ary number is set to 16.
o Sample time is set to 1/100.
o Frame-based outputs is selected.
o Samples per frame is set to 100.
 Rectangular QAM Modulator Baseband, in the AM sublibrary of the Digital
Baseband sublibrary of Modulation:
o Normalization method is set to Peak Power.
o Peak power is set to 1.
 Raised Cosine Transmit Filter, in the Comm Filters library:
o Filter span in symbols is set to 8.
o Rolloff factor is set to 0.2
 AWGN Channel, in the Channels library:
o Mode is set to Signal to noise ratio (SNR).
o SNR is set to 40.
o Input signal power is set to 0.0694. The power gain of a square-root
raised cosine transmit filter is , where N represents the upsampling factor of the filter.
1N
The input signal power of filter is 0.5556. Because the Peak power of the 16-QAM
Rectangular modulator is set to 1 watt, it translates to an average power of 0.5556.
Therefore, the output signal power of filter is =0.0694.
0.55568
 Raised Cosine Receive Filter, in the Comm Filters library:
o Filter span in symbols is set to 8.
o Rolloff factor is set to 0.2.
 Eye Diagram, in the Comm Sinks library:
o Symbols per trace is set to 2.
o Traces to display is set to 100.
Results
Vary the Roll Off rate from 0.2 to 1.0 in steps of 0.2 and see the effect on eye diagram.
Research and find out the function of AWGN block, can it be used to represent
transmission line.
