Detailed Documentation

In this article, we present a MATLAB-based simulation framework for comparing bit error rates of different communication methods including OOK. The code enables systematic performance evaluation of various modulation schemes through Monte Carlo simulations. Our implementation includes core modules for signal modulation/demodulation, AWGN channel modeling, and threshold detection algorithms. We provide detailed explanations of the code architecture, including key functions for generating modulated signals, adding Gaussian noise, and calculating error rates using statistical analysis. The simulation parameters can be customized to test different SNR conditions and modulation types. This tool helps researchers understand the relative performance trade-offs between communication schemes, providing valuable insights for future communication system design. Step-by-step instructions are included for configuring simulation parameters and interpreting results.
