BERTool is an interactive GUI for analyzing communication systems' bit error rate (BER) performance. Using BERTool you can
Generate BER data for a communication system using
Closed-form expressions for theoretical BER performance of selected types of communication systems.
The semianalytic technique.
Simulations contained in MATLAB simulation functions or Simulink models. After you create a function or model that simulates the system, BERTool iterates over your choice of Eb/N0 values and collects the results.
Plot one or more BER data sets on a single set of axes. For example, you can graphically compare simulation data with theoretical results, or simulation data from a series of similar models of a communication system.
Fit a curve to a set of simulation data.
Send BER data to the MATLAB workspace or to a file for any further processing that you might want to perform.
For an animated demonstration of BERTool, see the Bit Error Rate Analysis Tool demo.
Note BERTool is designed for analyzing bit error rates only, not symbol error rates, word error rates, or other types of error rates. If, for example, your simulation computes a symbol error rate (SER), then you should convert the SER to a BER before using the simulation with BERTool. |
