Visualizing BPSK Transmission with AWGN

Instructions

This experiment illustrates how Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) affects signal transmission and reception.

Objective

  • To demonstrate the impact of noise (AWGN) on communication signals.

Key Concepts

  • Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN):
    • Additive: The noise is added directly to the original transmitted signal.
    • Noise and errors: Noise can cause bit errors when it pushes the received signal across the decision boundary.

How to Interact

  • Enter a binary message (a sequence of '0's and '1's).
  • Select a noise power level to control the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
  • Observe the plots and the received signal to see how noise distorts the transmission.
