QAM Modulation using Karnaugh-map walks

This article focused on constructing constellation for rectangular QAM modulation using Karnaugh-map walks. Exploit inherent property of Karnaugh-maps to construct Gray coded QAM constellation points. M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM) In MQAM modulations, the information bits are encoded as variations in the amplitude and the phase of the signal. The M-QAM modulator transmits a series … Read more

Natural Binary Codes and Gray Codes

In a given communication system, we always want to send data that represent real world data representing some physical quantity (be it speech, temperature, etc..,) .The real world physical quantity exist in analog domain and it becomes imperative to convert it to digital domain if we want to send it via a digital communication system. … Read more
