When the communication between the USRPs was established, the transmitted constellation below was obtained.

Using the reshape function in LabVIEW, the an IQ sampling of $500k$, obtaining a symbol rate of 62500 symbols/sec is multiplied by $62500$ symbols/sec, without any noise, the number of samples per symbol, since the demodulator dunction assumes that this would be the sample rate of the input waveform. The received constellation is shown below. The $BER$ in this case is, evidently, 0.

_Figure 6.2 Received Constellation without AWGN_
The constellation on Figure 6.3 was obtained when adding AWGN, for a target $E_b/N_0$ (received $E_b/N_0$) of 5.The constellation will vary as the values of $E_b/N_0$ vary, making it either noisier, or making it resemble a noiseless channel.

With AWGN, the $BER$ is calculated, then compared to the theoretical one, obtaining a $BER$ vs $E_b/N_0$ graph like the one depicted below in Figure 6.4. It can be seen that the simulated $BER$ follows, as expected, the same behavior as the theoretical $BER$, validating simulated results $BER$.

_Figure 6.4 BER vs Eb/No without coding_
The $BER$ is also calculated for a the BCH code or a rate of (roughly) 1/2, and compared to the simulated $BER$ without coding. It can be observed from the graph below, that BCH greatly improves the $BER$. In this case, there is a gain of $3dB$ for a $BER=10^-5$
