Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
Objective:
In this lab we will learn that
Introduction:
This demo is designed to illustrate the effect of channel noise on the M-ary of the QAM
modulation scheme. In addition, user is able to select a specific M-ary of QAM
modulation and adjust the simulated noise level of the physical channel. As a result, the
effectiveness of carrier recovery can be evaluated by observing the symbols in the
constellation plot and the accuracy of the demodulated string. With this specific demo,
users are able to select QAM modulation of M-aries of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256
Lab Tasks

Task 1:
Implement 16-QAM modulation with raised cosine filter. What advantage QAM has over PSK. Explain with the
help of constellation diagrams.

What advantage QAM has over PSK. Explain with the help of constellation
diagrams.
QAM advantage: data rate = 2 bits per bit-interval! PSK modulators are often designed using
the QAM principle, but are not considered as QAM since the amplitude of the modulated carrier signal is
constant. QAM is used extensively as a modulation scheme for digital telecommunication systems.
Post-Lab
Task 1:
Implement M-QAM in Mathscript node.
Procedure:
Opening of LabVIEW
Installing of RT math module if using newer version
Then taking Math script node.
Putting MATLAB code in math script node.
Taking output form math script node.
Connect the output to the waveform graph
Observing signaling in LabVIEW.
