create an complex llr detector in matlab

To create a complex LLR (Log-Likelihood Ratio) detector in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define your input signal. Let's assume you have a complex baseband signal called y with length N.

  2. Compute the received signal r by adding noise n to the input signal y. This can be done using the awgn function in MATLAB:

main.m
SNR = 10; % Signal-to-Noise Ratio in dB
r = awgn(y, SNR, 'measured');
70 chars
3 lines
  1. Compute the likelihood ratios for each element of r. The likelihood ratio represents the probability of each symbol given the received signal. You can calculate it using the formula:
main.m
llr = real(r) ./ imag(r);
26 chars
2 lines
  1. Compute LLR values for soft decision decoding. The LLR values are calculated as the logarithm of the likelihood ratios:
main.m
llr = log(llr);
16 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the LLR values for further processing, such as decoding using a suitable algorithm (e.g., Viterbi algorithm, LDPC decoding, etc.).

Here is the MATLAB code that summarizes the above steps:

main.m
% Step 1:
y = ... % Define the input signal

% Step 2:
SNR = 10; % Signal-to-Noise Ratio in dB
r = awgn(y, SNR, 'measured');

% Step 3:
llr = real(r) ./ imag(r);

% Step 4:
llr = log(llr);
189 chars
13 lines

This code assumes that your input signal y is complex. Adjust the code as needed based on your specific signal characteristics.

Note that this is a simplified example of a complex LLR detector. The actual implementation may vary depending on your specific system requirements and modulation scheme.
