Re: Constellation object for ASK

[Marcus Müller]

Hi,

that would be called "OOK", on-off-keying, usually, because 0·3 = 0; it has very low 
spectral efficiency. Its constellation points would hence be 0 and 3, so the argument to 
the constellation object would be [0, 3].

Do note that by default, SDR frontend drivers are configured to map numbers with magnitude 
1 to maximum DAC output; you using 3 does sound a bit questionable here, unless you use 
that constellation then in a different more complex system and adjust the amplitude of the 
result.

Best regards,
Marcus
