I'm trying to put a binary vector through a 16-QAM modulator, AWGN channel, demodulator and measure the BER in the end. for some reason it keeps giving me BER=0, even after if I change the length of the vector. (I'm supposed to do it with a Rayleigh channel later, but I'm not even there yet).
when I do the same but without a modulator I get BER!=0
which is fine.
what am i missing here?
here's my code:
Sig = randi([0 1],1,1E5);
SigMod=qammod(Sig,16);
y=awgn(SigMod,50);
SigDemod=qamdemod(y,16);
z=SigDemod>0;
BER = biterr(Sig,z)
The second input to awgn
is SNR in dB . In your example you have a SNR of 50 dB, which gives a very small BER.
Try reducing the SNR, for example to 5 dB, and you will observe some bit errors.
Try to see this example in Matlab:
SNR = 3; frameLen = 100;
x = randi([0 1], frameLen, 1);
y = awgn(2*x-1, SNR);
z = y > 0;
biterr(x, z)
