Hi I have a small doubt. Is
a = awgn(randn(20,20), 6.7) and
a = wgn(20,20,6.7) the same
Aim is, I want a 20X20 frame with a SNR = 6.7 dB

Hi, SNR implies that you have a signal, in your call to awgn() you have no signal, just noise.
If you use awgn() you should input your signal and awgn() will add noise at the specified SNR.

but don't want your "frame" to be a matrix of constants then? Again, SNR implies that you have a signal. Do you really want to call randn(20,20) a signal. If you just want noise of a specified variance, that is different than SNR

Well, I am typing the statement as it is given in the book. Please help me out.
1. A frame of data has been generated with n=20, m=20 and std = 3
Can you help me create a frame with only this data?
2. The initial SNR of the frame is 6.7
Add this data as well and help me create the frame
Cheers a lot.
