Hi, "3pi/8", "pi/4" are used in some modulation schemes. I find it is really difficult to pronounce it in English. Similar question about 3.2^4. How do you spell them? Could you tell me that? Thanks in advance.
How do you pronounce "3pi/8"?

Three pi divided by 8 - is technically correct but rarely said this way. pi over 4. pi divided by 4 - same comment. Three point two to the fourth. which is actually a foreshortening of: Three point two (raised) to the fourth (power). and could be said: The fourth power of three point two - but rarely said this way.

Most native English speakers would say 3.2^2 as "three point two squared" and might even say 3.2^3 as "three point two cubed", and similarly for roots (square root and cube root). . o O ( pi r squared? no! pi r round! ) -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <ben@ben.com> http://www.ben.com/

But 16-PSK is not any useful so there is no point to pronounce it. Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Design Consultant http://www.abvolt.com
