step

System object: comm.RectangularQAMTCMDemodulator
Package: comm

Demodulate convolutionally encoded data mapped to rectangular QAM constellation

Syntax

Y = step(H,X)
Y = step(H,X,R)


Description

Note

Starting in R2016b, instead of using the step method to perform the operation defined by the System object™, you can call the object with arguments, as if it were a function. For example, y = step(obj,x) and y = obj(x) perform equivalent operations.

Y = step(H,X) demodulates the rectangular QAM modulated input data, X, and uses the Viterbi algorithm to decode the resulting demodulated, convolutionally encoded bits. X must be a complex, double or single precision column vector. The step method outputs a demodulated, binary data column vector, Y. When the convolutional encoder represents a rate K/N code, the length of the output vector is K*L, where L is the length of the input vector, X.

Y = step(H,X,R) resets the decoder to the all-zeros state when you input a reset signal, R that is non-zero. R must be a double precision or logical, scalar integer. This syntax applies when you set the ResetInputPort property to true.

Note

obj specifies the System object on which to run this step method.

The object performs an initialization the first time the step method is executed. This initialization locks nontunable properties and input specifications. For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.
