Apply AWGN noise to QPSK-OFDM symbol

I'm working on an OFDM-QPSK based system and I'm having some trouble to match the BER of my system with the theoretical curve. My OFDM implementation fills all the subcarriers and have t_symbol s ...

How to perform carrier phase recovery in software?

What are the options for recovering the phase of a BPSK signal in software? The only resources I can find online contain circuit diagrams – there seems to be no one willing to explain this to people ...

Why is a precoder necessary for DQPSK and what does it accomplish?

I've implemented a soft-decoder for DQPSK using the wonderful answers I received here: How to soft decode DQPSK? To get the soft-decoder working properly I needed to precode the data I was sending ...

How to soft decode DQPSK?

I'm successfully soft-decoding D-BPSK by taking the dot-product of the constellation-position of the symbol and of the previous symbol. If the result is >= 1, then the symbol phase hasn't changed and ...

Why does OFDM use cyclic-prefix while QPSK uses root-raised cosine filters?

My understanding is that BPSK/QPSK/... are often implemented with root-raised cosine (RRC) filters to reduce ISI and bandwidth. OFDM can be understood to be BPSK/QPSK/... implemented on multiple ...

Why do you get instantaneous phase by calculating correlation with a carrier signal?

I am somewhat new to DSP. I'm trying to implement BPSK by following this Python QAM tutorial. My code seems to work, but I really just ported the tutorial's Python code to C++, and do not understand ...

Matlab plot of QPSK system doesn't agree perfectly with theoretical BER curves

Does anyone know if there is a simple explanation on the fact that the theoretical bit-error rate (BER) curves of a Quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) system are approximately 1 dB shifted from the ...
