Detailed Description

An abstracted constellation object

The constellation objects hold the necessary information to pass around constellation information for modulators and demodulators. These objects contain the mapping between the bits and the constellation points used to represent them as well as methods for slicing the symbol space. Various implementations are possible for efficiency and ease of use.

Standard constellations (BPSK, QPSK, QAM, etc) can be inherited from this class and overloaded to perform optimized slicing and constellation mappings.
