DMT Signaling Reference and AdvDCSM Application Example

Last Update: March 4, 2010, October 16, 2011.



The Figure 2 plot (shown below) displays the Simulated Bit Error Rate (BER) results for Convolutional Coded, Block Coded, and UnCoded cases where simulated Discrete MultiTone (DMT) Modulation Signaling occurs over a Non-Distorting, UnRestricted Bandwidth MultiCarrier/MultiChannel (MC).

If one compares Figure 1 (shown below or on the 'Nolta Simulated Systems Introduction' webpage) to Figure 2, one can readily see the effects of a bandwidth-limited MC on BER Performance as follows:

1) For UnCoded DMT, increasing the Eb/N0 has little effect in decreasing BER;

2) At low Eb/N0 and for UnCoded and Coded DMT, there is a order of magnitude difference in BER, i.e., loss in BER Performance; and

3) At high Eb/N0 and for UnCoded and Coded DMT, the BER spread increases dramatically.

Digital Communication Systems (Convolutional Coded, Block Coded, or UnCoded) using Discrete MultiTone (DMT) Modulation Signaling are complex systems that involve complex System and Subsystem models.

The AdvDCSM System Tool T1 is an invaluable computer-based software tool that can be readily used to model and simulate these DMT Systems for Non-Distorting, UnRestricted Bandwidth or Bandwidth-limited MultiCarrier/MultiChannel Channels.

T1 is NOW AVAILABLE as a TRIAL VERSION that will allow you to use T1, a Digital Communication (Information-Theoretic) System Modeling and Simulation software tool, for a Limited Period without Charge and to learn about the valuable utility of T1 in the study, evaluation, and possibly design of certain Complex Digital Communication Systems first hand before purchase.
