LABORATORY ASSIGNMENT 2 BFSK AND QAM SIMULATION USING MATLAB

REPORT DUE DATE: 26 MAY 2014

-5%/day will apply to late reports

PART 1 FSK SIMULINK SIMULATION
Demonstrate FSK modulation using programmable arbitrary generator for two different
data streams.
a) Study the simulation scheme of FSK modulation. Set the modulation parameters by
double-click on the relevant block.


Frequency step (difference of both frequencies) = 30 Hz
Data stream generator (rectangular signal) Period = 1 s, Amplitude = 1, Duty
cycle = 50% or 80% two different data streams
Duty cycle 50% represents data stream 11111 00000
Duty cycle 80% represents data stream 11111 11100

Lower frequency harmonic signal (block VCO) = 10 Hz means log. 0
Thus log.1 will be transmitted as harmonic signal 40 Hz
Again, if you decide to use different setting than the one recommended above, make
sure the integer number of periods of modulated signal is acquired during the simulation
and that each carrier period contains enough samples, and moreover, integer number of
harmonic signal period must fit into one bit.

Run the simulation and wait until it finishes.
Browse the generated FSK signal.
By double-click to blue-colored block, the file c:\waveforms\signal_FSK
containing FSK signal samples is generated.
c) Upload the samples into the arbitrary waveform generator and set the frequency to
1 kHz. This will generate lower harmonic signal 10 kHz and higher 40 kHz
d) Display spectrum of FM signal for both cases (narrowband and wideband). Print the
signal spectra and add level and frequency to each line. Explain the differences in
spectra between both data streams.

PART 2 QAM SIMULINK SIMULATIONS
Simulate transmission of random digital signal by means of QAM modulation (blocks
Random-Integer Generator, Rectangular QAM modulator Baseband, AWGN Channel,
Discrete-Time Eye and Scatter Diagrams)

a) Become acquainted with data presentation in form of constellation diagram.
b) Observe the symbols position within the constellation diagram in dependence on
signal to noise ratio (SNR) and number of modulation states (M-ary number), evaluate
the results.
