      Hi everyone.

      I want to simulate OFDM based FSO link using M-QAM modulation. I replaced optical fiber in OFDM modulator project file with FSO component. When I ran the project for 4-QAM scheme, the constellation of the received signal was good. But when i tried simulating 16-QAM by changing bits/symbol to 4, the constellation diagram became distorted. Can anyone please suggest what can be done to correct this. I think it has something to do with electric constellation visualizer properties

      Hello Rajveer,
      I went through your project, you could simulate 16-QAM and obtain a proper constellation. However, you need to set properly the following:
      1. the global parameter symbol rate must be 2.5Gsymbol/s due to using 4bits/symbol
      2. The OFDM Demodulator reference bit rate should be Bit rate/4
      3. The phase of the Quadrature Demodulator should be set at 185 deg

      The constellation should looks like the attached file.
      I recommend you using new OFDM components instead of the OFDM OS12 version. It is more flexible and has more capabilities.
      Regards,
      Ahmad

      Hi Sir

      After making all the modifications suggested by you,
      why the BER shows 1 and max-Q-factor as 0 ?

      please reply
