Mapping Symbol Positions with the I/Q Table Editor

In modulation schemes defined by standards (such as TDMA and CDMA), symbols appear
in default positions in the I/Q plane. The I/Q table editor provided in Option UN8 enables
you to do the following:
• Create a unique mapping of symbols.
You can create a mapping that is not supplied as a default. You can also create a
non-standard mapping; this is often necessary for a proprietary modulation scheme.
• Change the position of one or more symbols in a standard mapping.
This is often done to test the sensitivity of a receiver, or to create a symbol mapping that
is similar to a default.
The examples in this section provide information on how to create an I/Q map (on
page 2-16), how to edit a default map (on
I/Q table (on page 2-21), and how to use a stored I/Q map (on
Four data bits define each symbol.
