 AWGN Channel - Overview
• What is AWGN?
• AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) is a type of noise that is added to a
signal during transmission over a communication channel.
• It is called "additive" because it directly adds to the signal.
• "White" refers to the fact that the noise has a constant power spectral density,
meaning it affects all frequencies equally.
• "Gaussian" indicates that the noise follows a Gaussian (normal) distribution with a
mean of zero and a given variance.
• Characteristics of AWGN:
• Constant Power: The noise has the same power at all frequencies.
• Statistical Properties: The noise samples are random variables with a Gaussian
distribution.
• Impact on Communication: AWGN represents the random variations or
fluctuations that occur during signal transmission, caused by various factors like
thermal noise, electronic interference, and environmental conditions.

AWGN Channel - Impact and Applications
• Impact of AWGN on Signal Quality:
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): The quality of the received signal is often measured by the SNR, which is the
ratio of the power of the signal to the power of the noise. A higher SNR means better signal quality.
• Bit Error Rate (BER): The presence of AWGN increases the probability of errors in signal detection, leading to
a higher Bit Error Rate (BER) in digital communication systems.
• AWGN Channel in Communication Systems:
• Idealized Model: AWGN is used as an idealized model to represent real-world communication channels in
many system analyses and simulations.
• Performance Evaluation: It allows engineers to evaluate the performance of modulation schemes (e.g., PSK,
QAM) under noise conditions.
• Design of Error Control Codes: Helps in designing error detection and correction schemes, such as
convolutional codes, LDPC codes, and turbo codes, to mitigate the effects of noise.
• Applications of AWGN Channel Model:
• Telecommunication Systems: AWGN is widely used in the analysis of wireless communication systems such as
4G, 5G, and satellite communication.
• Simulations: It is frequently used in simulations to model the noise characteristics of a real channel, especially
in systems with high-speed data transmission.
• Conclusion:
• The AWGN channel model is fundamental to understanding and designing robust communication systems
that can handle noise and interference effectively
