16-QAM modulation output values

Started by Unknown October 26, 2007
Hi,

In my 16-QAM constellation the symbol 0011 at located at I=1, Q=3.
What binary or hex value do I output for 1 and 3 if I am using say 16
bit signed binary? Can I use say 7FFFh for 3 and e.g. 2AAAh for 1? Are
standards available to show what values should be used?

Many Thanks
Bob
