PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF REED-SOLOMON CODE USING M-ARY PSK AND FSK MODULATION IN AWGN CHANNEL

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the Bit error rate (BER) performance of Reed Solomon code (RSC) using Mary PSK and FSK modulation techniques in the presence of noisy channel i.e. (Additive White Gaussian Noise. In this paper, 32-PSK (Phase Shift Keying), FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation is used for simulation of coded communication system. For simulation, we use MATLAB/SIMULINK as a tool to calculate BER rate using Monte Carlo method. The forward error correction technique is used to detect and correct errors received from AWGN Noise channel. For encoding the received signal by removing burst errors or noise and improves the performance by using Reed Solomon codes. The results are plotted by using BERTOOL. In order to compare performance, we have taken different code rates while block length fixed. From the simulation results, it has been observed that BER performance of RSC is better if FSK modulation is used as compare to PSK modulation.
