This paper analyses the typical digital modulation techniques used in today's wireless communications. The paper presents the characteristics of the modulation techniques and determines the figure of merit for each particular modulation: Bit Error Rate (BER) vs. Signal-toNoise Ration (SNR). The analysis emphasizes the importance ofsuch figure ofmerit in the context ofSoftware Defined Radios (SDR).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
