Glossary Item Box

Gets the array of possible QAM constellation types.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Overridable Function GetQamLevels() As Integer()
C# 
public virtual int[] GetQamLevels()
C++/CLI 
public:
virtual array<int>^ GetQamLevels(); 

Return Value

The array of possible QAM constellation types.

Remarks

This is an array of values that indicate QAM constellation types. Values in the QamIdentifiers array are indices into this QamLevels array. Valid values in this array are: 0 = Unknown, 1 = BPSK, 2 = QPSK, 3 = 8-PSK, 4 = 16-QAM, 5 = 32-QAM, 6 = 64-QAM, 7 = 128-QAM, 8 = 256-QAM, 9 = 512-QAM, 10 = 1024-QAM, 11 = 2048-QAM, 12 = 4096-QAM, 13 = 8192-QAM, 14 = 16384-QAM, 15 = 32768-QAM, 16 = 65536-QAM.

The value 0 means that the analyzer will attempt to auto-detect the actual modulation format by looking at statistics of the measured IQ values of the subcarriers that have been assigned this QAM level. Auto-detection is able to detect modulation formats that can't be directly specified in QamLevels, including BPSK-Q, BPSK+45, BPSK-45, QPSK+45, 4-PAM, 4-PAM-Q, 8-QAM, and 8-QAM+45. However, auto-detection is not able to detect 512-QAM, 1024-QAM, 2048-QAM, 4096-QAM, or above.
