Binary Symmetric Channel Error Port
Pass a random signal through a binary symmetric channel. For a specified error probability, compare the total number of errors indicated by the Err port to result reported by the Error Rate Calculation block.
Open the slex_bsc_channel_err model.
Run the model with the error probability of the BSC block set to 0.02. The results from the Error Rate Calculation block are saved to the base workspace variable ErrorVec in a 1-by-3 row vector. ErrorVec contains [ BER, TotalErrors, TotalSamplesProcessed ].
Total number of errors: 20296
The Err port for the Binary Symmetric Channel is a binary vector whose length matches the total number of samples processed. By summing the elements of the output Err vector you get the total number of errors introduced into the signal data. The sum of the elements of the Err vector is saved to the base workspace variable BscErrTotal.
BscErrTotal: 20296
The Error Rate Calculation blocks reports the same total number of errors indicated by BscErrTotal.
