Introduce binary errors
The BinarySymmetricChannel object introduces binary errors to the signal transmitted through this channel.
To introduce binary errors into the transmitted signal:
H = comm.BinarySymmetricChannel creates a binary symmetric channel System object™, H, that introduces binary errors to the input signal with a prescribed probability.
H = comm.BinarySymmetricChannel(Name,Value) creates a binary symmetric channel object, H, with each specified property set to the specified value. You can specify additional name-value pair arguments in any order as (Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN).
Probability of binary error
Specify the probability of a binary error as a scalar with a value between 0 and 1. The default is 0.05.
Enable error vector output
When you set this property to true, the step method outputs an error signal, ERR. This error signal, in vector form, indicates where errors were introduced in the input signal, X. A value of 1 at the i-th element of ERR indicates that an error was introduced at the i-th element of X. Set the property to false if you do not want the ERR vector at the output of the step method. The default is true.
Data type of output
Specify output data type as one of double | logical. The default is double.
|clone||Create binary symmetric channel object with same property values|
|getNumInputs||Number of expected inputs to step method|
|getNumOutputs||Number of outputs from step method|
|isLocked||Locked status for input attributes and nontunable properties|
|release||Allow property value and input characteristics changes|
|step||Introduce binary errors|
Add binary errors with a probability of 0.2 to a binary input signal
H = comm.BinarySymmetricChannel('ErrorProbability',0.2); data = randi([0 1], 10, 1); [noisyData, err] = step(H, data); [data noisyData err]
ans = 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0
This object implements the algorithm, inputs, and outputs described on the Binary Symmetric Channel block reference page. The object properties correspond to the block parameters, except:This object uses the MATLAB® default random stream to generate random numbers. The block uses a random number generator based on the V5 RANDN (Ziggurat) algorithm. An initial seed, set with the Initial seed parameter initializes the random number generator. For every system run that contains the block, the block generates the same sequence of random numbers. To generate reproducible numbers using this object, you can reset the MATLAB default random stream using the following code.
