  2. Quadrature amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_amplitude...

    For example, current Homeplug AV2 500-Mbit/s powerline Ethernet devices use 1024-QAM and 4096-QAM, [4] as well as future devices using ITU-T G.hn standard for networking over existing home wiring (coaxial cable, phone lines and power lines); 4096-QAM provides 12 bits/symbol. Another example is ADSL technology for copper twisted pairs, whose ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_modulation

    Examples: quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), and m-ary quadrature amplitude modulation . See also phase-shift keying ... additional terms may apply.

  4. C-QUAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-QUAM

    C-QUAM (Compatible QUadrature Amplitude Modulation) is the method of AM stereo broadcasting used in Canada, the United States and most other countries. It was invented in 1977 by Norman Parker, Francis Hilbert, and Yoshio Sakaie, and published in an IEEE journal.

  5. Amplitude and phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_and_phase-shift...

    The advantage of APSK over conventional QAM is a lower number of possible amplitude levels and therefore a lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). [2] The resilience of APSK to amplifier and channel non-linearities afforded by its low PAPR have made it especially attractive for satellite communications, including DVB-S2 .

  6. Modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation

    QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation): a finite number of at least two phases and at least two amplitudes are used. In QAM, an in-phase signal (or I, with one example being a cosine waveform) and a quadrature phase signal (or Q, with an example being a sine wave) are amplitude modulated with a finite number of amplitudes and then summed.

  7. Constellation shaping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_shaping

    Constellation shaping is an energy efficiency enhancement method for digital signal modulation that improves upon amplitude and phase-shift keying (APSK) and conventional quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) by modifying the continuous uniform distribution of the data symbols to match the channel.

    In the Digital QAM section, see the "Digital 16-QAM with example constellation points" GIF. It includes a table of 8 points with amplitudes all either 25% or 75%. I think all 8 amplitude values are incorrect. For example the last point shown, data 1111 in the lower-left corner, is identified as Amplitude 75%.

  9. QAM (television) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAM_(television)

    QAM is used in a variety of communications systems such as Dial-up modems and WiFi. In cable systems, a QAM tuner is linked to the cable in a manner that is equivalent to an ATSC tuner which is required to receive over-the-air (OTA) digital channels broadcast by local television stations when attached to an antenna. Most new HDTV digital ...
