Demonstration of Real-Time Modulation-Adaptable Transmitter

We demonstrate a 26 Gbaud real-time quick-reconfigurable 16QAM/QPSK-adaptable transmitter. The modulation format can be switched in less than a second by an RMAT agent. The FPGA-driven reconfigurable transmitter can work as a generic edge-node interface for traffic aggregation.
