OFDM系统各种调制阶数的QAM误码率（Symbol Error Rate）与 误比特率（Bit Error Rate）仿真结果

本文是OFDM系统的不同QAM调制阶数的误码率与误比特率仿真，仅考虑在高斯白噪声信道下的情景，着重分析不同信噪比下的误码（符号）率性能曲线，不关心具体的调制与解调方案，仿真结果与理论的误码率曲线进行了对比。

考虑一个简单的OFDM系统，每个频域子载波承载一个QAM调制符号，在经过不同信噪比白噪声信道之后，每个QAM调制符号的解调性能如何，每个符号对应的比特解码性能如何？理论的误码性能如何？可以参考如下代码:

其中用到了一个计算理论误符号率的函数：

function SER = QAM_SER_Theory(Qm,EbN0)
   %Reference https://dsplog.com/2012/01/01/symbol-error-rate-16qam-64qam-256qam/
   Q_order = log2(Qm);
   EsN0_DB =  EbN0 + 10 * log10(Q_order);
   EsN0 = 10.^( EsN0_DB/ 10);
   k = sqrt(3 / (2*(Qm - 1)));
   k_snr = k * sqrt(EsN0);
   cer = erfc(k_snr);
   SER = 2*(1 - 1/sqrt(Qm))*cer - (1 - 2/sqrt(Qm) + 1/Qm) * (cer.^2);
%    cer = erfc(sqrt(EsN0/2));
%    SER = cer - 1/4*cer.^2;
end

 计算理论误比特率的函数需要参考文献，不过观察误码率与误比特率曲线，感觉只相差一个和常数，或许和调制阶数相关？

 如下给出结果：
