What is the bandwidth of QAM?
The primary benefit of QAM variants is efficient usage of bandwidth. This is because QAM represents more bits per carrier. For example, 256-QAM maps 8 bits per carrier and 16-QAM maps 4 bits per carrier.
How is 16-QAM signal generated?
16-QAM signals can be generated with tandem-QPSK transmitter by cascading IQ modulator, Mach-Zehnder Modulators (MZM) and phase modulators (PM) [7], or cascading two IQ modulators [8]. Such transmitters were driven by binary electrical signals, simplifying the drive electronic circuits design.
How many bits are required for 64qam?
Each symbol in 64-QAM is a constellation state that contains six bits and each symbol is one possible combination out of 64 different states ranging from 000 000 to 111 111. Since, this modulation scheme uses binary data, the total number of possible combinations using 6 bits is 26 i.e. 64.
What does 64 QAM mean?
This is a modulation technique in which the carrier can exist in one of sixty four different states. As such, each state can represent six bits – 000000 through to 111111, per symbol change. 64 QAM is one of the possible modulation techniques used in LTE.
