Performance Measurement of Reed-Solomon Codes through AWGN Channel under Various Modulation Schemes

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of Reed-Solomon Code (RS) for different digital modulation schemes over an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. The simulation model provides error detection and correction using Reed-Solomon (RS) with erasure, puncture and shortening. The original message is encoded and decoded using RS code. MATLAB Simulink model is selected, as the investigation tool. Bit Error Rate(BER) Versus Signal to Noise Ration (SNR) plot results are plotted under various modulation schemes like DPSK, QAM & FSK.
