Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Receiver

Aim of the Experiment: This experiment primarily deals with Quadrature Amplitude Modultation (QAM) receiver. You will attempt to recover the signal from the output of your previous experiment.

We will not be implementing the symbol clock recovery portion of the receiver front end subsystem. It is important for you to understand the concepts of Chapter 13 of the Lab manual.

List of tasks to complete for the lab

Equipment to be checked out:

Lab #7 requires you to connect 2 DSKs using a T connector. To check if the connector is working or not is to use WriteSample directly what you read at the receiver. What you should see on the scope is the transmitted (modulated) signal. Small distortion is normal and expected but the received signal should not look very different from the transmitted signal.
