Data set simulation and RF path modeling of a QPSK radio communication system

This project simulates QPSK modulation signals and uses a laboratory environment to create deteriorating effects of real-world high frequency (HF) transmissions that may modify the ideal QPSK waveform. These modifications may be identifiable in order to "fingerprint" the source of the modi...

description This project simulates QPSK modulation signals and uses a laboratory environment to create deteriorating effects of real-world high frequency (HF) transmissions that may modify the ideal QPSK waveform.

A computer with MATLAB Instrument-control Toolbox is used to generate a random-input data stream as an input to the signal generator, which modulates the RF signal.
