Hi!

Great to see the solution also, other wise most of the time, only problems where seen & no solution, after long time. Thanks Heart to share the solution.

Regards,

Sohaib.

Hi there,

SNR values are usually presented in dB. So you scale should be in logarithmetic scale. Here you have to use semilogxy function instead of plot(x,y), check the function with help.

To get smoother curves you suppose that you have two values of SNR:

1- the one with dB values SNR1=1,2,3,.....20,...

2-SNR2^((SNR1)/10)
in your Gaussian noise formula use the values of SNR2 and then you will get smmother curves.

The smoothing in Excel is made via splines: you take 3rd degree polynomials, and adjust their four coefficients with the need of continuity, and smooth 1st and 2nd order derivatives. Then you would have to create sufficient points from those polynomials, so that you can see the curve really smoothed. MATLAB implements the spline command. Try "help spline" to see how it works. -- Juan de Dios Santander Vela BS in Physics, Master in Electronic Engineering D.Sc.

Try to use the Polyfit command, uses the least sq method. FROM HELP: p = polyfit(x,y,n) finds the coefficients of a polynomial p(x) of degree n that fits the data, p(x(i)) to y(i), in a least squares sense. The result p is a row vector of length n+1 containing the polynomial coefficients in descending powers..... I hope this will answer your question!

Hello, I am plotting SNR ~ BER with a limited number of points i.e I have 2 series of data [x] and [y] Now I want to make it a smooth curve of the plot(x,y) (just like in Excel). Anyone know how to do that? Thanks alot! HTH
