noiseHistogram

(Removed) Noise histogram

Description

example

nh = noiseHistogram(ed) returns the bin counts for the signal values at the vertical opening (eye delay) as set in eye diagram System object™.

Note

This method is available when both of these conditions apply:

  • EnableMeasurements is true

  • DisplayMode is '2D color histogram'

Examples

collapse all

Display the eye diagram for a waveform having dual-dirac and random jitter. Plot the jitter and noise histograms.

Specify the sample rate, the samples per symbol, and the number of traces parameters.

fs = 1000;
sps = 200;
numTraces = 1000;

Create an eye diagram object.

ed = comm.EyeDiagram('SampleRate',fs,'SamplesPerSymbol',sps, ...
    'SampleOffset',sps/2, ...
    'DisplayMode','2D color histogram','ColorScale','Logarithmic', ...
    'EnableMeasurements',true,'YLimits',[-1.2 1.2]);

Generate a waveform having dual-dirac and random jitter. Specify 3 ms rise and fall times.

src = commsrc.pattern('SamplesPerSymbol',sps, ...
    'RiseTime',3e-3,'FallTime', 3e-3);
src.Jitter = commsrc.combinedjitter('RandomJitter','on', ...
    'DiracJitter','on','DiracDelta',[-10e-04 10e-04],'RandomStd',5e-4);

Generate two symbols for each trace.

x = src.generate(numTraces*2);

Pass the signal through an AWGN channel with a fixed seed for repeatable results.

randStream = RandStream('mt19937ar','Seed',5489);
y = awgn(x,30,'measured',randStream);
ed(y)

Eye diagram

Calculate the jitter histogram count for each bin by using the jitterHistogram method. Plot the histogram.

jbins = jitterHistogram(ed);
plot(jbins)

Jitter histogram

Calculate the noise histogram count for each bin by using the noiseHistogram method. Plot the histogram.

nbins = noiseHistogram(ed);
plot(nbins)

Noise histogram

Input Arguments

collapse all

Eye Diagram System object, where the counts for signal values at the eye delay is set.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Noise histogram, which represent the counts for the signal values at the vertical opening (eye delay), specified as a nonnegative integer.

Data Types: double

R2022a: comm.EyeDiagram has been removed

noiseHistogram has been removed. To display the eye diagram of a signal, use the eyediagram function instead.
