ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting and quantifying impairments of a received communication signal of a QAM data communication system represented by a plurality of ideal values. The method includes storing a statistically significant number of a plurality of received points of the signal for each ideal value corresponding to a plurality of groups of said plurality of ideal values. The received points are defined by an in-phase and a quadrature components in a coordinate system in which a first axis is the in-phase axis and a second axis is a quadrature axis. The components have corresponding ideal components from their respective ideal value. Each group corresponds to respective impairments and is specific to the same.
