Abstract

This paper presents a discussion and results of clipped digital modulated waveform signal that is affected by Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Impulse Noise (IN). It is shown that clipping the digital modulated waveform affected by AWGN results in the tails of the distribution being approximated by Gaussian distribution tails. Antipodal and non-coherent FSK modulation schemes are used to demonstrate the effect of clipping a digital modulated waveform signal, and in both schemes, the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is signficantly improved by clipping, when both AWGN and IN are present.
