Spread Spectrum Communication System Simulink Simulation Model

This MATLAB-based Simulink simulation system for spread spectrum communication includes the following key components from transmitter to receiver: - Transmitter Section: Responsible for spread spectrum processing of original signals using direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) techniques, typically implemented with PN code generators and XOR operations for spectrum spreading. The transmitted signal is modulated before channel transmission. - Communication Channel: Models realistic transmission characteristics including additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath fading effects using Rayleigh or Rician fading models to simulate real-world propagation conditions. - Receiver Section: Processes channel-affected signals through correlation-based despreading algorithms using matched filters or correlators synchronized with the transmitter's spreading code, followed by demodulation and signal reconstruction. - Bit Error Rate (BER) Analysis: Implements error detection algorithms comparing transmitted and received data sequences, calculating BER performance metrics using statistical analysis blocks to evaluate system robustness under various SNR conditions. - Visualization Results: Utilizes MATLAB plotting functions and Simulink scopes to display signal waveforms, spectral characteristics, constellation diagrams, and BER curves, providing intuitive understanding of signal transformations throughout the communication chain. This simulation system facilitates comprehensive understanding of spread spectrum communication principles, enabling performance evaluation through parameter sweeps and supporting system optimization designs for different application scenarios.
