Design and Implementation of a Communication System for Poor Quality Communication Channels using MATLAB....

Task Description

This coursework project aims to design and implement an end-to-end digital

communication link over a poor quality communication channel using

MATLAB simulation software.

The end goal is to implement a wireless acoustic communication system, in

which a speaker on one computer (running MATLAB) and a microphone

connected to another computer (running MATLAB) are employed as the

transmitting and receiving antennas respectively.

Many sources of noise and distortion will be present in this channel, among

them: non-ideal and/or nonlinear channel characteristics, multipath

propagation, propagation delay, and ambient noise. A large part of your brief

is to study these transmission impairments and how they can be overcome

using suitable methods. Your goal is to design and implement a

communication system that achieves high bit rate throughput and reliable

transmission despite these transmission impairments.

You have full control over what simulation components and parameters to

use, and you are encouraged to try a number of different combinations of

these. It is also expected that you will make smart choices about the type(s) of

modulation to choose, and compare their performances as well. This will

involve a significant amount of background research.

You should start by designing and modelling the communication system

and channel in MATLAB before implementing the final physical system.

MATLAB provides a number of non-ideal communication channel

models for you to use in evaluating your design.
