Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a simple geometric approach that is based on si gnal-space concepts to efficiently evaluate the performance of M-ary phase- shift keying (M-PSK) and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) sche mes over an additive white Gaussian noise channel. In particular, new bit e rror rate approximations are derived and shown to be in excellent agreement with Monte Carlo simulation results.
