You can either do a FIR only filter (and thus be guaranteed of stability),
or do the following which I copied directly from Matlab help.

    [B,A] = INVFREQS(H,W,nb,na,Wt,ITER) does another type of fit:
    Sum |B/A-H|^2*Wt is minimized with respect to the coefficients in B and
    A by numerical search in at most ITER iterations.  The A-polynomial is
    then constrained to be stable.  [B,A]=INVFREQS(H,W,nb,na,Wt,ITER,TOL)
    stops the iterations when the norm of the gradient is less than TOL.
    The default value of TOL is 0.01.  The default value of Wt is all ones.
    This default value is also obtained by Wt=[].

Does this help?

Thanks for all but I still have problem creating the filter. I followed the
method that Nandan said, but the command gave me the cofficient of the
denumenator such that the filter was unstable so I could not filter my data.
I changed the orders NA and NB so many times but I could not get a stable
transfer function.
I think I should use "fitmag" command. should not I?

Ofcourse yes, it will be the same.
Bcos what determines the performance in a space-time coded system is the minimum
determinant of the ST codeword. For any orthogonal design minimum determinant is
equal to the min. equilidean distance of the signal set(QPSK) in ur case. Since
alamouti code is an orthogonal design and min. equilidean distance of BPSK and
QPSK are same, the performance will be the same.

A method is simply presented as follows,which can be found in many books:
the psd of the filtered white noise is S_y(w) = N*|H(w)|^2.
H(w) is the frequency response of the linear filter. Hence root(1/(a^2+w^2))
So you may sample in the frequency domain, Then the matlab function
"fir2"
will be helpful

Hello, 
         I simulated the SPACE TIME BLOCK CODED system
based on 
Alamouti scheme, where the modulation is BPSK. Now I
am trying to 
extend that to QPSK and higher modulations. 
Since for SISO channels, BER curve for BPSK and QPSK
is equal in AWGN 
and flat fading channels. 
Will the BER curve for BPSK and QPSK will be same in
Alamouti based 
scheme? 
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. 

Thanks and Regards, 
-SaiRamesh.
	

You can generate such a filter by using the command invfreqs

[B,A] = INVFREQS(H,W,'complex',NB,NA,...) creates a complex filter. 
In
    this case, no symmetry is enforced.

H = desired response of filter (in your case sqrt(1/(a^2+w^2))
W = corresponding vector of w
NB = order of B
NA = order of A

This will give the best least squares fit to your desired freq response.

If you make the orders reasonably large, you can get a very good match.

hope this helps,
Nandan

Hi everybody,

First I like to appologize because my question is some how stupid, since I am
mechanical engineer student and new in signal processing,

I need to generate a random signal with a desired PSD, I found that this problem
was asked before by Tony and Nandan gave him the answer.

What Nandan said was to generate a white signal (uniform PSD) and then pass it
through a filter whose frequency response is sqrt of the desired PSD. My goal
PSD is 1/(a^2+w^2) in which a is a constant and w is frequency.

My question is how I can make a filter with a frequency response of
sqrt(1/(a^2+w^2))? whould not it be nonlinear?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks 
kavous
