Design of a Jamming Simulator for a Binary Communication System

Abstract

Two receivers for coherent Phase Shift Key (PSK) and Frequency Shift Key (FSK) transmission have been designed in order to validate theoretical studies involving jamming of digital communication receivers. Binary PSK and FSK signals were generated, transmitted, and processed by each receiver, and measurements of each receiver's performance were recorded as each system operated in the presence of White Gaussian Noise (WGN) as well as in the presence of a combination of White Gaussian Noise and a jammer waveform. The system's performance is expressed in terms of the probability of receiver error occuring during the transmission of digital information. The results are plotted as receiver Probability of error (Pe) versus Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) for fixed values of and Jammer-to-Signal ratio (JSR). Signal and receiver designs are presented and diagrams as well as schematics have been included for clarity. Keywords include: Coherent Digital Receiver; and Optimum Jamming.
