Effect of Intersymbol and Quadrature Channel Interference on Error Probability of 16-ary Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation with Sinusoidal and Rectangular Shaping

Abstract

In this paper we study the effect of intersymbol and quadrature channel interference on the average error probability of 16-ary offset quadrature amplitude modulation with rectangular or sinusoidal shaping functions. We present numerical results assuming that the transmitter and receiver filters are identical Butterworth filters of order N = 1, 2, …, 6, and the decision rule is either fixed or adaptive. © 1983 IEEE.
