Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of a 16-FSK modulator and demodulator's performance over a Rician fading channel, which accurately models wireless communication channels with line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight components. The study investigates the impact of various parameters, including the Rician K-factor, Maximum Diffuse Doppler Shift, and Delay Vector, using the MATLAB Simulink communication blockset. The results indicate that increasing the K-factor and delay vector of the channel leads to an improvement in bit error rate. Additionally, it is observed that the maximum diffuse Doppler shift has minimal influence on the bit error rate. These findings provide valuable insights into optimizing the performance of 16-FSK modulation schemes in Rician fading channels, thereby enhancing the design and deployment of wireless communication systems.
