BER Simulation Program for Ultra-Wideband System with PPM Modulation and RAKE Receiver

This is a comprehensive simulation program designed to analyze the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) system employing Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) with a RAKE receiver configuration. The program enables thorough understanding and evaluation of PPM modulation performance in UWB communication systems. Through BER simulation analysis, users can assess system reliability under various conditions and conduct performance optimization studies. The implementation features a RAKE receiver architecture, a widely-used reception technique that effectively combats multipath interference and enhances signal reception quality. The simulation allows parameter adjustments including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), symbol rate, and channel conditions to observe system performance variations. Key algorithm components include PPM signal generation, multipath channel modeling, RAKE finger combination algorithms, and BER calculation modules. The program provides valuable insights for researching PPM modulation applications in UWB communication systems, featuring configurable parameters for different simulation scenarios and performance metric outputs for comprehensive analysis.
