The implemented Communication Evaluators all inherit from the identically named common base which gets initialized by selecting the two Modem instances whose communication should be evaluated. The currently considered performance indicators are
Performance Indicator |
Performance Indicator |
|---|---|
Errors comparing two bit streams |
|
Errors comparing two bit streams divided into blocks |
|
Errors comparing two bit streams divided into frames |
|
Rate of correct frames multiplied by the frame bit rate |
|
Root mean square error between transmitted and received symbols |
Configuring Communication Evaluators to evaluate the communication process between two Modem instances is rather straightforward:
# Create two separate modem instances
modem_alpha = Modem()
modem_beta = Modem()
# Create a bit error evaluation as a communication evaluation example
communication_evaluator = BitErrorEvaluator(modem_alpha, modem_beta)
# Extract evaluation artifact
communication_artifact = communication_evaluator.evaluate()
# Visualize artifact
communication_artifact.plot()
