USRP DVB Project

DVB S2 Simulation and Hardware In Loop Testing

In this project, I did hardware-in-loop testing for DVB V2 signal. I used a USRP N2900 to transmit and receive a audio signal.

First part of this project, evaluates the performance of DVB-S2 using MATLAB simulations under different channel conditions, focusing on the BER performance with 8PSK modulation in AWGN, Rayleigh, and Rician channels. A comparison between DVB-S, DVB-S2, and DVB-S2X standards is also presented, along with their key parameters extracted from the ETSI standard.

AWGN Channel Rayleigh Channel: To simulate multipath fading with no line-of-sight (LOS). Rician Channel: To evaluate performance under fading with a dominant LOS component.

Second Part of this project is the Hardware-In-Loop testing of a DVB S2 audio singal using a USRP N2900 and Labview software.
