we therefore have

Since b =log 2 M, the quantity

Derivation of Eq. (2.2). It is well known that k =1 k 2 = n ( n +1)(2 n +1) / 6 .
Now, for even M we can write

2.2.2 Average energy in a QAM constellation
Now consider a b -bit QAM constellation. There are M =2 b
codewords of the
form
z = x + jy,
where x and y belong to ( b/ 2)-bit constellations with M words each . T hus the
average energy in the real part is as in Eq. (2.3) with M replaced by M =2 b/ 2 :

E ave,x = ( M
