digital communications - Deriving SER & BER for 4QAM, 16QAM and 32QAM


Required to find symbol error rate vs EbN0 for 4QAM, 16QAM & 32QAM. Thought that SER & BER are the same but did my research to find that BER is 1log2(M) of SER...(could you please confirm this?)


Also found SER for:


4QAM to be: erfcEb2N0


and that of


16QAM to be: 32erfcEb10N0


Are these values correct? Still have problems to find SER for 32QAM...


Hope you can help.
