How are BER and SNR Related for PSK and QAM?

Explains how to calculate the Bit Error Rate (BER) for BPSK and the Symbol Error Rate (SER) for QAM, and discusses the relationship between them.

Note that the SNR plotted on the horizontal axis of the figure, is the 'SNR per bit'. I have updated the Summary Sheet at http://iaincollings.com to make this clear. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_3B-QOqBUXZCY3dW1lERe6kQDux9rOZZ/view?usp=share_link
