MATLAB is commonly used to design filters and determine frequency responses of systems, but it is also very useful as a simulation tool.
Use the following MATLAB code skeleton to simulate the QPSK
transmitter from Digital
Transmitter: Introduction to Quadrature Phase-Shift
Keying and fill in the incomplete portions. Note that
the code is not complete and will not execute properly as
written. How does the spectrum of the transmitted signal
change with
plot(rI,rQ)?
