This program simulates the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of OSTBC
with L=4 antennas over the frequency flat Rayleigh block fading channel
The code is developed for real orthogonal design, code rate 1/2
modulation- 16 QAM with gray coding resulting in 2 bits/sec/Hz.
There are two files in the zip folder. bpsk_spread.m and jakesmodel.m
Steps for simulation:
1] Run jakesmodel.m first
2] Then run bpsk_spread.m .
3] Note that during the first run bpsk_spread.m has no rayleigh fading.This is because the corresponding code has been commented
4] The resulting performa ...
We simulate uncoded BER of BPSK modulated
data as a function of SNR
-in an AWGN channel
-in a Rayleigh fading channel
-in an AWGN channel when direct sequence spreading
is used
and compare results to the theoretical ones.
We assume coherent receiver and perfect
synchronization.
