Performance Analysis of an Optimal Circular 16-qam for Wavelet Based Ofdm Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The BER performance for an optimal circular 16-QAM constellation is theoretically derived and applied in wavelet based OFDM system in additive white Gaussian noise channel. Signal point constellations have been discussed in much literature. An optimal circular 16-QAM is developed. The calculation of the BER is based on the four types of the decisio
