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!

How to make a curve smooth?

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!

Sohaib.

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.

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.

Hello,
Thanks guys for your advice, finally, it is done with just 3 commands below.
Cheers,
HTH
1. polycoefficient = polyfit(EbN0db,log10(ber_itn+10^(-30)),2);
%Find the coefficents of a polynomial of order 2
% to approximate log10(ber) of each iteration
%10^(-30) to make ber_itn non-zero
2. poly_ber = 10.^polyval(polycoefficient,EbN0db);
%Approximate log10(ber) of each iteration using the above coefficents
3. semilogy(EbN0db,poly_ber,'-',EbN0db,ber_itn,'+'); grid on
%plot both actual data and approximated data

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.
