Trouble using MT Modulate QAM vi

Dear all,

 

First of all I would like to say that I'm just getting started with Labview and don't really know much about it, but of course I'm willing to learn!

 

I'm trying to modulate an input text using M-Qam modulation scheme. I already did convert the text into a bitstream but I'm having trouble using the MT Modulate QAM vi and/or the MT Demodulate vi. I'm still trying to figure out some of the parameters that those vi request 

 

The problem is the following: I try to input some string like for example "ab", which is converted into a 16 bit bitstream and then modulated. The thing is that after demodulation, the output bitstream contains only 10 or 11 bits. 

I'm using following parameters: 

M-QAM: 4

symbol rate: 4000 Hz

samples per symbol: 16

filter length (symbol): 8

pulse shaping filter: none.... (otherwise I get less bits in the output bitstream)

 

Hope somebody can help me out!

Greetings

Hello Simon97,

 

what you are trying to accomplish could get really complex very fast. I suggest first you take a look at examples like this one here Simulated QAM Modulation of an ASCII String.
