QAM Formats: 8-QAM, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-
QAM, 128-QAM, 256-QAM
Quadrature amplitude modulation can be used
with a variety of different formats: 8QAM,
16QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, 256QAM, but there are
performance differences and trade-offs
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, QAM Tutorial
Includes:
Quadrature amplitude modulation, QAM basics
QAM theory QAM formats QAM modulators
& demodulators
16 QAM constellation
16QAM constellation
32 QAM constellation
32QAM constellation
64 QAM constellation
64QAM constellation
It can be seen from these few QAM constellation
diagrams, that as the modulation order increases,
so the distance between the points on the
constellation decreases. Accordingly small
amounts of noise can cause greater issues.
