How is EB N0 calculated?

Eb/N0 is equal to the SNR divided by the "gross" link spectral efficiency in (bit/s)/Hz, where the bits in this context are transmitted data bits, inclusive of error correction information and other protocol overhead.

What unit is EB no?

Unit of Eb is: Joules [J], Watts/Hz [W/Hz] or Watts * s [Ws]. All three units express the very same metric.. What is it? Eb/No is the ratio of the Energy per Bit divided by the noise power density.

Why is EB N0 used instead of SNR?

Its main advantage is that the actual bandwidth is taken out of the equation, since N0 is simply the noise power in a 1 Hz bandwidth. This allows comparing different modulation schemes without having to worry about their spectral properties. EbN0=SNBRb.

What is EB no in Matlab?

e = ebno( lnk ) returns a matrix e of the history of received values for energy per bit to noise power spectral density (Eb/No) in dB at the final node in each possible multihop link in the vector lnk . The rows of the matrix correspond to the link object in lnk and the columns correspond to the time sample.
