Analytical Expressions Used in berawgn, bercoding, berfading, and BERTool

---

This appendix summarizes the main theoretical expressions used in the functions berawgn, berfading, bercoding, and in the Theoretical pane of BERTool. For each modulation scheme, expressions are given for the bit error rate (BER) for both the coded and uncoded cases, and for the symbol error rate (SER) in the uncoded case. Gray coding is assumed in all cases. The BER and SER are the same for binary modulation schemes. Simplifying expressions are also given for certain special cases.
