BERcurve_CV_soft2_QA

  Computes BER v EbNo curve for convolutional encoding / soft decision Viterbi decoding scheme assuming BPSK. Brute force Monte Carlo approach is unsatisfactory (takes too long) to find the BER curve. The computation uses a quasi-analytic (QA) technique that relies on the estimation (approximate one) of the information-bits Weight Enumerating Function (WEF) using A simulation of the convolutional encoder. Once the WEF is estimated, the analytic formula for the BER is used.(Computes BER v EbNo curve for convolutional encoding/soft decision Viterbi decoding scheme assuming BPSK.
