The study focuses on improving the reliability of QPSK digital communication systems in Rayleigh fading channels through adaptive intelligent signal processing. A conventional QPSK system is first modeled and analyzed in MATLAB Simulink to establish a baseline BER. To mitigate multipath fading and AWGN, the receiver is enhanced with adaptive gain control and adaptive noise suppression. Simulation results show a significant BER reduction for the adaptive system compared with the conventional one across an SNR range of 0 to 30 dB. Notably, the improvement is more pronounced at moderate to high SNR values, highlighting the robustness of the adaptive approach in realistic fading scenarios. Overall, the findings confirm that adaptive intelligent processing provides an effective, low-complexity solution for enhancing wireless communication performance.
