How do you calculate QAM symbol rate?
The bits per symbol is the (modulation's power of 2) × (Forward Error Correction). So for example, in 64-QAM modulation 64 = 26 so the bits per symbol is 6.
What is 16-QAM symbol rate?
The maximum data rate supported by 16-QAM is 11.5 Mbps.
Thus, a high data rate with up to 4 bits per symbol modulation can be achieved. The number of bits supported by M-ary QAM is given by the following Equation.
How many bits per symbol can you send with 128 QAM?
Description of 128-SP-QAM
This means that 128-SP-QAM carries 7 bits per symbol compared to the 8 bits per symbol of PM-16QAM and that the minimum Euclidian distance between the constellation points is increased by √2 compared to PM-16QAM.
