How to create diagonal stripe patterns and checkerboard patterns?

Based on this question, I can confirm that horizontal patterns can be imposed onto a matrix (which in this case is an image), by multiplying it with a modulation signal created with this: vModulationSignal = 1 + (0.5 * cos(2 * pi * (signalFreq /…

MATLAB how to map the received point to one of the constellation points

I'm trying to design a new modulator / demodulator. I've designed the constellation set and mapped them to bits using a gray mapping, Added some AWGN noise to the signal and now I'm trying to demodulate. Lets say I have the following points in my…

BER result for QAM modulation Matlab

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…

Converting 8 bits to a byte for amplitude modulation in Java

So I am writing a program in Java that does amplitude demodulation. I am reading in a sine wave value by value and determining whether I have a '1' or a '0'. For now I am saving them as chars, but am open to suggestions. I know the number of samples…

How to increase bitrate of file transmission over the sound card?

I need to transfer files using only the sound card. my algorithm so far is based on amplitude shift keying (ASK). Transmitter: The program writes to a WAV file the modulated data. Simply write "noise" (create wave) when the bit is 1, and write…

WebSDR and continuous wave (CW) demodulation of DCF77 signal

I am trying to receive DCF77 signal via WebSDR. When I set CW demodulation I hear the sound even if I select the band with 0 width. I am relatively new to the radio. The question is why I do I hear the sound? I know that CW modulation is used for…
