sdr.plot.ber(ebn0: ArrayLike, ber: ArrayLike, **kwargs)

Plots the bit error rate (BER) as a function of \(E_b/N_0\).

Parameters:
ebn0: ArrayLike

The bit energy \(E_b\) to noise PSD \(N_0\) ratio (dB).

ber: ArrayLike

The bit error rate \(P_b\).

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments to pass to matplotlib.pyplot.semilogy().

Examples

Plot theoretical BER curves for BPSK, QPSK, and 8-PSK in an AWGN channel.
