I'm working on redoing our digital modulation work in GNU Radio. All
digital modulation blocks (both C++ and Python) are getting moved to
gr-digital. I'm also making more use of Ben Reynwar's work that he did
a while ago on using constellation objects that provide a nice object
representation of constellation and operations for how to handle them.
I believe that this _should_ help in using QAM signals, although the
code could probably use a lot of optimization work to support these
signals.
You can view my progress at git://github.com/trondeau/gnuradio.git in
the branch "digital." It's a work-in-progress, so nothing is
guaranteed to work right now (like I've broken all of the digital
examples). I hope to finish this up over the next few weeks and get it
into or master branch.
