Simulation For 16 –QAM modulation technique in AWGN channel

Abstract

QAM plays an important role in today's communications field, so it is of theoretical and practical important to conduct an in- study of 16- QAM,in this paper, the effect of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) Channel is simulated on the performance of 16- Quadrature Amplitude Modulation for different values of Eb/No using MATLAB programming. The simulation results show that the simulated bit error rate for 16 - QAM modulation in is good agreement at the value ( Eb/No=-12dB). Keywords- 16-QAM, Simulation, MATLAB.
