  Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation algorithm and its hardware implementation for adaptive transmission system using M-ary modulation scheme. In this paper, we present the implementation results of the proposed algorithm for the second generation digital video broadcasting via satellite (DVB-S2) system, and the proposed algorithm can be tailored to the other communication systems using adaptive transmissions. We built a look-up table (LUT) using the theoretical background of the received signal distribution, and by using this LUT we need just two comparators and a counter for the hardware implementation. For this reason, the hardware of the proposed scheme produces accurate estimation results even with extremely low complexity. The simulation results investigated in this paper reveal that the proposed method can produce estimation results within the specified SNR range in the DVB-S2 system, and it requires a few hundreds of samples for average estimation error of about 1 ㏈.
