General QAM Modulator Baseband

Modulate using quadrature amplitude modulation

Library

AM, in Digital Baseband sublibrary of Modulation

• 

Description

The General QAM Modulator Baseband block modulates using quadrature amplitude modulation. The output is a baseband representation of the modulated signal.

The Signal constellation parameter defines the constellation by listing its points in a length-M vector of complex numbers. The input signal values must be integers in the range [0, (M-1)]. The block maps an input integer m to the (m+1)st value in the Signal constellation vector.

This block accepts a scalar or column vector input signal. For information about the data types each block port supports, see the Supported Data Types table on this page.

Parameters

Signal constellation

A real or complex vector that lists the constellation points.

View Constellation

Click View Constellation on the block mask to visualize a signal constellation for the specified block parameters. Before viewing a constellation, apply the parameter settings. For more information, see View Constellation of Modulator Block.

Output data type

Output data type, specified as double, single, fixdt(1,16), fixdt(1,16,0), Inherit via back propagation, or <data type expression>.

Setting this parameter to

• fixdt(1,16), fixdt(1,16,0), or <data type expression> enables parameters in which you can further specify details.

• Inherit via back propagation sets the output data type and scaling to match the following block.

For information about specifying data types, see Data Type Assistant.
