This paper models the effect of phase-noise on a 256-QAM Modulator using Computer Aided Design tool called Matlab/Simulink. By remodeling and varying the noise parameter in the AWGN channel of an expert–system based simulink model, and studying the impact of these variations on the BER of the system, values were recorded for every instance of simulation that was run before and after the addition of the noise. It was found that Phase Noise has an enormous effect on QAM modulators; an effect that grows strong with an increase in the density (version) of the QAM modulators. This implies that higher order QAM are prone to phase noise and hence error, but transmits more data.
