Abstract

This paper focuses on the application of Reed-Solomon Error Correction Code evaluation technique on the Bit-Error-Rate performance of M-ary Frequency Shift Keying (M-FSK) in noisy multipath Rayleigh and Rician fading channel. The detection and correction of the received information errors from the multipath fading channel was done using the Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique. The message is encoded and decoded using the error-correcting Reed-Solomon Codes were employed to encode and decode the message. The entire model based design, modelling and simulation was done using MATLAB/SIMULINK. It was observed that the BER performance of M-FSK with RS codes improved greatly compared to M-FSK system without error correction. Decrease of BER performance was observed as the length of codeword symbols (n) increase at constant code rate and error correcting capability. The redundancy increases as code rate decreases leading to an improved Bit-Error-Rate performance. The improvement of the BER of M-FSK by using Reed-Solomon error correction code was achieved.
