Objective
In this stage, we will explore the impact of the channel on signals and compare the distortion of the signals at the receiving end and the sending end. The main focus will be on the effects of noise, frequency offset, and time offset in the channel model on the signal.

Objective
In this experiment, we will investigate the impact of multipath effects on signals and how to use equalizers to eliminate these effects. The main principle used in the equalizer here is the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) in adaptive algorithms.

Introduction to QPSK
Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) is a widely used modulation technique in modern digital communication systems, known for its efficient spectral utilization and interference resistance. QPSK transmits data by changing the phase of the carrier signal, where each symbol represents two bits, corresponding to four possible phase states (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees).

Objective
This step is mainly to generate QPSK signals randomly and observe the effect of different Excess BW parameters on the signal bandwidth.

On a rainy Friday morning, the gentle drizzle caressed the earth. My daughter and I stepped out of the house, ready to take the bus to work and school, fulfilling our previous agreement. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: we left the house later than usual, would we catch a later bus? Would the bus be unbearably crowded? Should we drive instead? But upon second thought, I decided to stick to our plan of taking the bus, leading by example and conveying the idea of perseverance.
