Let's assume your original message signal is: 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1. If you want to modulate it using 4-QAM, then your baseband signal will be: 4-QAM Symbols (Real + jImag) Symbol 0: -1.00 + j-1.00 Symbol 1: 1.00 + j-1.00 Symbol 2: -1.00 + j-1.00 Symbol 3: 1.00 + j-1.00 Symbol 4: 1.00 + j1.00 Now, if you want to transmit them through a typical wireless medium, you need to modulate the baseband signal with a carrier frequency (in our case, 50 Hz). The resulting passband signal looks like this In the above code, the symbol rate is 5 symbols per second. Detailed explanation 4-QAM Constellation Points In typical normalized 4-QAM, each symbol is mapped to a complex number: Bits Symbol (I + jQ) 00 -1 - 1j 01 -1 + 1j 11 +1 + 1j 10 +1 - 1j Each point lies on a square centered at the origin with I and Q values either +1 or -1. ...
