A 64-ary QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) demodulation apparatus and method for receiving an input signal Rk(Xk,Yk) comprised of a kth quadrature - phase signal Yk and a kth in-phase signal Xk, and generating soft decision values L(sk,5), L(sk,4), L(sk,3), L(sk,2), L(sk,1) and L(sk,0) for the input signal Rk(Xk, Yk) are disclosed. A first soft decision value generator receives the quadrature-phase signal Yk of the received signal Rk and a distance value 2a between six demodulated symbols on the same axis. A second soft decision value generator receives the in-phase signal Xk of the receive d signal Rk and the distance value 2a between the six demodulated symbols on t he same axis.
