Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) code 

Description

Encodes a \(q\)-ary digit into a constellation of equally spaced points on the real line. For example, a \(q\)-PAM scheme for \(q=8\) could encode the constellation \(\{ \pm \alpha,\pm 3\alpha,\pm 5\alpha, \pm 7\alpha \}\) with real scaling factor \(\alpha\). The points in the constellation are typically associated with one quadrature of an electromagnetic signal.
