Is 4 QAM the same as QPSK?

Yes, QPSK and 4-QAM are effectively the same. Higher order PSK and QAM would be different, but they reduce to the same thing if you only have 4 constellation points. For more information about digital modulation, see Digital Modulation.

What is constellation diagram and how is it used with PSK?

A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. It displays the signal as a two-dimensional xy-plane scatter diagram in the complex plane at symbol sampling instants.

What is constellation diagram in Simulink?

Description. The Constellation Diagram block displays real- and complex-valued floating- and fixed-point signals in the IQ plane. Use this block to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis on modulated single-carrier signals.
