Description
Summary:This project illustrates the simulation and performance analysis of 8-PSK and 64-QAM in WCDMA. The main objective of this study is to compare and identify which technique is better by analyzing the performance of both channels in term of bit error rate (BER).The simulation was done by using Matlab Version 7.6. The system model constructed two modulation technique which is 8-PSK and 64-QAM.The channel coding that has been applied in this project is Reed Solomon Codes to encode and decode the signals from the two channels before the modulation and after demodulation process occur in the system. As for the noise, AWGN was injected to the WCDMA spread spectrum environment. From the result obtained 8-PSK is better than 64-QAM in BER performance, but the 64-QAM offer higher data rate compare to 8-PSK.
