What is modulation in LTE?

Modulation is the process of varying the properties of a carrier signal such as frequency, phase and amplitude with a modulating signal that contains the actual information to be transmitted . A modulator does the modulation of a signal and a demodulator does exactly the reverse of modulation.

What QAM 256?

Just what is QAM-256? It refers to Quadrature Amplitude Modulation , which is the means by which a carrier signal, such as an LTE waveform, transmits data and information. Ideally, a waveform/symbol carries as much data as possible in order to achieve higher data rates and increase spectral efficiency.

How do you calculate QAM?

The required bandwidth is related to bit rate and the modulation order M. It is so that the double sided bandwidth w = symbol rate= bit rate rb/ divided by the number of bit per symbol n . The number of bits per symbol is = log 2M with M is the M is the QAM modulation order.
