[Discuss-gnuradio] BER measurement for QAM transmission with USRP wirelessly

[Sun Wenbin]

Good day everyone,

Cool. Got it working. Thank you Vanush Vaswani for your reply.

By the way, does anyone knows how does QAM Mod takes in and QAM Demod output their data?

Similarly i found out that they are both not identical but cant figure out how the data is formed.

Thanks for your time reading.

Regards,

Sun
