Questions tagged [modulation]

Anything related to *signal modulation*, i.e. the process of encoding the information provided by some source into the variations of some property (e.g. amplitude, frequency, phase, polarization, etc.) of a carrier signal suitable to be transmitted over a communication channel.

High-frequency spur after performing an FFT in MATLAB

I have a modulated signal, and now I want to perform an FFT. However, I am getting a spur at a high frequency, which should not be there (and if it should, I have no clue as to why). Lvl=[0.5,0.9,0.5,0.5,0.1,0.1,0.9,0.5]; fa=60; %the frequency of…

Python: translate sensor data into continuous frequency modulated audio

I have a piece of python script that runs through a continuous loop (~5Hz) to obtain data from a set of sensors connected to my PC, much like a proximity sensor. I would like to translate this sensor data into audio output, using python and in a…

Calculating Error Rates for QPSK(for AWGN channel) in MATLAB

I want to simulate the QPSK for AWGN Channel and compare the errors I get with the theoritical ones on a plot. I want to do this on MATLAB for different SNR values from 1 to 10. When I plot this I get a huge difference between simulated and…

Amplitude modulation of a brown noise generated with acoustics package in python

I am totally new to python, so I tried to read and learn what I could but I cannot seem to do what I want, and I haven't found a solution on Stack Overflow or other sources. My aim is to create a wave file of brown noise with amplitude modulation at…

QPSK function operation/MATLAB

QPSK Modulation its supposed to use 2 bits for each symbol, but wheter I use pskmod or comm.QPSKModulator, I'm still getting the same amount of symbols as bits. Am i doing something wrong? Is something wrong with the function? Thanks in…

Frequency of the signals transmitted & modulation scheme (FSK, ASK)

How is the frequency of the signals transmitted reflected on the modulation scheme (eg: FSK, ASK)? Say if I want to transmit a sequence of signal with a frequency of 20kHz(an amplitude of 7V is 1, no amplitude is 0), is there any requirement of the…

BPSK modulation and SNR : Matlab

Considering an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) communication channel where a signal taking values from BPSK modulation is being transmitted. Then, the received noisy signal is :y[k] = s[k] + w[k] where s[k] is either +1,-1 symbol and w[k] is…

FSK Demodulation and Data Recovery

I'm trying to implement a FSK demodulator in R. The audio is some text data, and as an exercise I converted the text to raw binary (0s and 1s) to be able to check the output of the demodulator. So far I've been able to come up with some…
