I am working on a project and I need to display to my professor the following data involved with communication theory. I did an experiment varying distance(1/2/3/4 feet), delay amount between transmission, and block length (the length of the messages transmitted, ex. 1/2/4/8/16 bytes) and I calculated the bit error rate and byte error rate. What do you guys think would be the best way to display this information?
Clarification: So, for further clarification, the experiment goes something like this. I set up the receiver and transmitter one foot away from each other. Then I transmit a block of data, each a single byte, with 1 millisecond delay between each block. Then 2nd experiment is same one byte transmission with 2 ms delay. And i go up to 4 ms delay. Then, I transmit a new block, with each block being 2 bytes, and i restart from 1 millisecond delay between each BLOCK (not byte). Then I work my way up to 4 ms delay again. Now I repeat this for a block length of 1 byte, 2, 4, 8, 16. So that's a total of 20 experiments. Then, i increase the distance to 2 feet, and i repeat this whole process. Then I increase to 3 feet, then to 4. This is the experiment. Please let me know if I need to give more clarification.
So i have 3 independent variables. Delay amount, block length, distance. I want to see the dependencies between these 3 variables (as suggested by my professor) to gain channel characteristics.
The dependent variable is the bit error rate and the byte error rate.
Figured it out. I'm going to keep one variable constant, the block length. The x variable could be the delay and the left side as the BER. Then 4 different colored curves. Then i could represent all the data in 5 graphs!
