Digital radio transmission modeling and simulation

Abstract

A computer simulation modeling study of terrestrial digital microwave radio transmission, using the Block Oriented System Simulator (BOSS) package, is reported. The basics of simulating multilevel quadrature amplitude modulated signals used for microwave radio transmission are presented. Emphasis is placed on semianalytical error rate evaluation for digital transmission. Simulation results include time and frequency domain representations of various system outputs. The simulations included pseudonoise sequence generation for source symbols, channel and transmit/receive filtering, equalization, and error probability evaluation.<>
