Answer 1

Have you installed this function? Is the parent folder included in the path? See pathtool and addpath.

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

The routine did exist in R2007a; it is part of the Communications Toolbox; see http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2007a/toolbox/comm/ug/qfunc.html. The Communications Toolbox is not, however, one of the toolboxes that is included with the Student Version, and must be purchased as an add-on. (I don't know whether it is still possible to get the student version of that toolbox for the R2007a release.)

M_values = [1, 2, 4, 8]; average_SNR = 10;

for M = M_values

gamma_z = linspace(5, 220, 1000);

P_e = 2 *

qfunc(sqrt(2 * gamma_z *

sin(pi/8) / M));

plot(gamma_z, P_e);

hold on;

end

xlabel('Average Branch SNR (dB)'); ylabel('P_e'); title('Probability of Error for 8-PSK with MRC'); legend(arrayfun(@(M) sprintf('M=%d', M), M_values, 'UniformOutput', false)); grid on;

hold off;
