Abstract

Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is an enabling technology which is useful in a wide range of areas within wireless systems. SDR offers a perfect solution to the problem of spectrum scarcity in wireless communication. With the significant increase in the demand for reliable, high data rate transmission these days, a different number of modulation techniques need to be adopted. The main objective of this paper is to design and analyze an SDR based M-Phase Shift Keying (PSK) transceiver using LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) and to measure the Bit Error Rate (BER) in the presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) introduced in the channel. Forward Error Correction (FEC) is used as a channel coding scheme in this paper. FEC codes are used where the re-transmission of the data is not feasible, thus redundant bits are added along with the message bits and transmitted through the channel. This paper describes the fundamental concept for the design & development of an SDR -based transceiver simulation model under PSK Scheme & analyses the performance of two Forward Error Correction channel coding algorithms namely the Convolution and the Turbo Codes. In this paper we have shown that how fast and effectively we can build a PSK transceiver for interactive Software Defined Radio. With the help of this design we are able to see and prove that data errors can be minimized using coding techniques, which in turn improves the Signal to noise ratio (SNR).
