Equation of SNR versus sigma square for BPSK

In summary, the equation for calculating SNR versus sigma square for BPSK is SNR = 2*sigma^2. A higher SNR means better performance for BPSK, as it results in a lower bit error rate. This equation can also be applied to other modulation schemes, but the specific values may vary. Increasing sigma decreases the SNR and can lead to a higher bit error rate for BPSK. However, the equation may differ in different scenarios due to factors such as channel conditions, modulation scheme, and coding techniques.

I would like to know in the following equation (attached) how can I incorporate BER for BPSK? is BER the same as Rc?
The equation is relation between SNR and sigma square.

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?
 

1. What is the equation for calculating SNR versus sigma square for BPSK?

The equation is SNR = 2*sigma^2, where SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio and sigma is the standard deviation of the noise.

2. How does the signal-to-noise ratio affect the performance of BPSK?

A higher SNR means a stronger signal compared to the noise, resulting in better performance for BPSK. As SNR increases, the bit error rate decreases.

3. Can the equation be applied to other modulation schemes besides BPSK?

Yes, the equation can be applied to other modulation schemes such as QPSK and 16-QAM. However, the specific values for SNR and sigma may vary depending on the modulation scheme used.

4. How does increasing sigma affect the SNR for BPSK?

As sigma increases, the SNR decreases. This means that the noise is becoming stronger compared to the signal, resulting in a higher bit error rate for BPSK.

5. Is the equation for SNR versus sigma square for BPSK the same in all scenarios?

No, the equation may vary depending on factors such as the channel conditions, modulation scheme, and coding techniques used. It is important to consider these factors when calculating the SNR for a specific scenario.
