Summary

Description
English: Theoretical bit-error rate curves for uncoded and coded QPSK, additive white Gaussian noise channel. Hard decision means that the decoder expects binary symbols (0's and 1's); Soft decision means that the decoder expects log-likelihood ratios[1][2].

MATLAB script:

clear all 
close all 
clc 

EbNo = 0:7; 
spect = distspec(poly2trellis(7,[171 133]),7) 
ber_h = bercoding(EbNo,'conv','hard',1/2,spect); 
ber_s = bercoding(EbNo,'conv','soft',1/2,spect); 
ber_u = berawgn(EbNo,'psk',4,'nondiff'); 

figure(1) 
semilogy(EbNo, ber_h, EbNo, ber_s,... 
EbNo, ber_u, 'LineWidth', 1.5)

This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as a SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If a SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Softhard.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
