bin2gray - Convert positive integers into corresponding Gray-encoded integers

Syntax

y = bin2gray(x,modulation,M) [y,map] = bin2gray(x,modulation,M)

Description

y = bin2gray(x,modulation,M) generates a Gray-encoded vector or matrix output y with the same dimensions as its input parameter x. x can be a scalar, vector, or matrix. modulation is the modulation type and must be a string equal to 'qam', 'pam', 'fsk', 'dpsk', or 'psk'. M is the modulation order that can be an integer power of 2.

[y,map] = bin2gray(x,modulation,M) generates a Gray-encoded output y with its respective Gray-encoded constellation map, map.

You can use map output to label a Gray-encoded constellation. The map output gives the Gray encoded labels for the corresponding modulation. See the example below.

Note If you are converting binary coded data to Gray-coded data and modulating the result immediately afterwards, you should use the appropriate modulation object or function with the 'Gray' option, instead of BIN2GRAY.

Example

 % To Gray encode a vector x with a 16-QAM Gray encoded
 % constellation and return its map, use:
 x=randint(1,100,16);
 [y,map] = bin2gray(x,'qam',16);
 % Obtain the symbols for 16-QAM
 hMod = modem.qammod('M', 16);
 symbols = hMod.Constellation;
 % Plot the constellation
 scatterplot(symbols);
 set(get(gca,'Children'),'Marker','d','MarkerFaceColor',...
 'auto'); hold on;
 % Label the constellation points according
 % to the Gray mapping
 for jj=1:16
 text(real(symbols(jj))-0.15,imag(symbols(jj))+0.15,...
 dec2base(map(jj),2,4));
 end
 set(gca,'yTick',(-4:2:4),'xTick',(-4:2:4),...
 'XLim',[-4 4],'YLim',...
 [-4 4],'Box','on','YGrid','on', 'XGrid','on');

The example code generates the following plot, which shows the 16 QAM constellation with Gray-encoded labeling.
