16 QAM vs 16 PSK and 4QAM vs QPSK

Hello All, Just curious why in many standards, to achieve different rates, usually use QPSK and 16-QAM. Why can't we use 4-QAM instead of QPSK or 16-QPSK instead of 16 QAM? Thanks. Regards, Terry ...

VSB as QAM

Hi, I'm currently try to develop an 8-VSB demodulator (for ATSC terestrial digital TV). I saw that there is a simple way to covert to 8-VSB signal to 64-QAM (offset QAM, to be more precise). My question is: is demodulating QAM is more cost-efficient than woking directly on VSB signal? (by means o...

question about multistage decoding

Hi, I am working on a multistage channel decoding module for DRM system. I am confused about the QAM demapping. In case of 64 QAM, I begin with LSB ( with has highest protection) and get hard decodion. Then for the CSB, I got a shrinked 16 QAM. Then for MSB, 4 QAM. Now the second iteration begins. ...
