International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering Technology (IJARCET) Volume 3 Issue 10, October 2014 SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO ESTIMATION OF QAM AND QPSK MODULATION TECHNIQUE AT 910MHz and 2116.4 MHz USING MEASURED DATA 1 2 3 4 Alumona T.L, G.N Onoh, Mbanugo P.C, Ugwuoke O.O 1, 3,4 Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering NnamdiAzikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria 2 Department of Electrical / Electronic Engineering Enugu State University of science and technology Estimation of signal to noise ratio for the transmitter transmits a signal of magnitude higher received signal is an important task in than the farther transmitter, then the SNR for the communication systems. The knowledge of the latter may be below detect ability and may as well SNR is a requirement on many systems in order not transmit. This effectively jams the to perform efficient signal detection and link communication channel. adaptation. In adaptive modulation system we need a way to decide which modulation level is This problem is commonly solved by dynamic best suited for the present channel condition, in modulation and dynamic output power adjustment this paper we decided to use the estimated SNR of the transmitters [2]. That is, the nearer of the link as a channel metric to decide the
