Popis: In this work, we verify experimentally the consistency of EVM across modulation types of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) wireless local-area network (WLAN) signals in two dedicated laboratory setups. We compared EVMs obtained for different modulation types in both an idealized distortion-free and a realistic multipath environment. Our goal is to study the effect of signal impairments on the constellation diagram through EVM, although other figures of merit, such as bit-error rate (BER) or energy-per-bit to spectral-noise density (EbN0), could be studied as well.
