Abstract: Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) has been widely used in adaptive modulation because of its efficiency in power and bandwidth while Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) used for high rate data link where transmitting more bits is a symbol time, QAM and PAM systems are both tested under AWGN, Rayleigh fading, Rician Fading channels as comparison performance in term of BER between the two systems, to improve the performance of both systems convolutional code, diversity order and K-factor are used, where these techniques decrease the BER on both systems.
Keywords: QAM and PAM, fading channel, Convolutional AWGN channel, QAM in rician channel.
