Detailed Description

Ordinary AWGN Channel for cvec or vec inputs and outputs.

For real signals, the input parameter (noisevar) denotes the noise variance per real dimension. Therefore, it should be set to , where is the noise power spectral density. However, in case of complex signals, the input parameter (noisevar) represents the noise variance per complex dimension, i.e. the sum of the variances in the real and imaginary parts, and thus is equal to .

Example:

#include <itpp/itcomm.h>
using namespace itpp;

int main() {
  // Initiate the AWGN_Channel class
  double noisevar = 0.1;
  AWGN_Channel awgn_channel(noisevar);

  // Initiate a QPSK-modulator, and generate the transmitted signal
  QPSK qpsk;
  bvec transmitted_bits = randb(20);
  cvec transmitted_signal = qpsk.modulate_bits(transmitted_bits);

  // Usage of the member operator ()
  cvec received_signal = awgn_channel(transmitted_signal);

  // Demodulate the bits
  bvec received_bits = qpsk.demodulate_bits(received_signal);
}
