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

_Figure 2.2 Transmitted Constellation_
Using an IQ sampling of 500k, obtaining a symbol rate of 62500 symbols/sec, without any noise, the received constellation is shown below. The BER in this case is, evidently, 0.

The constellation on figure 11 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.

_Figure 2.3 Noisy Constellation_
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 2.4. figure 12. It can be seen that the simulated $BER$ follows, as expected, the same behavior as the theoretical $BER$.
