General QAM Modulator Baseband - Modulate using quadrature amplitude modulation

Library

AM, in Digital Baseband sublibrary of Modulation

Description

The General QAM Modulator Baseband block modulates using quadrature amplitude modulation. The output is a baseband representation of the modulated signal.

The Signal constellation parameter defines the constellation by listing its points in a length-M vector of complex numbers. The input signal values must be integers between 0 and M-1. The block maps an input integer m to the (m+1)st value in the Signal constellation vector.

The input can be either a scalar or a frame-based column vector. For integer inputs, the block can accept the data types int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, single, and double. For bit inputs, the block can accept int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, boolean, single, and double.

Dialog Box

Signal constellation

A real or complex vector that lists the constellation points.

Output data type

The output data type can be set to double, single, Fixed-point, User-defined, or Inherit via back propagation.

Setting this to Fixed-point or User-defined will enable fields in which you can further specify details. Setting this to Inherit via back propagation, sets the output data type and scaling to match the following block..

Output word length

Specify the word length, in bits, of the fixed-point output data type. This parameter is only visible when you select Fixed-point for the Output data type parameter.

User-defined data type

Specify any signed built-in or signed fixed-point data type. You can specify fixed-point data types using the sfix, sint, sfrac, and fixdt functions from Simulink® Fixed Point™ software. This parameter is only visible when you select User-defined for the Output data type parameter.

Set output fraction length to

Specify the scaling of the fixed-point output by either of the following two methods:

This parameter is only visible when you select Fixed-point for the Output data type parameter, or when you select User-defined and the specified output data type is a fixed-point data type.

Output fraction length

For fixed-point output data types, specify the number of fractional bits, or bits to the right of the binary point. This parameter is only visible when you select Fixed-point or User-defined for the Output data type parameter and User-defined for the Set output fraction length to parameter.
