  2. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    The input sinusoidal voltage is usually defined to have zero phase, meaning that it is arbitrarily chosen as a convenient time reference. So the phase difference is attributed to the current function, e.g. sin(2 π ft + φ), whose orthogonal components are sin(2 π ft) cos(φ) and sin(2 π ft + π /2) sin(φ), as we have seen.

  3. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. [1] It displays the signal as a two-dimensional xy -plane scatter diagram in the complex plane at symbol sampling instants.

  4. Quadrature amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

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

    Digital 16-QAM with example symbols Constellation points for 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM overlapped. As in many digital modulation schemes, the constellation diagram is useful for QAM. In QAM, the constellation points are usually arranged in a square grid with equal vertical and horizontal spacing, although other configurations are ...

  5. Carrier recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_recovery

    A common form of decision-directed carrier recovery begins with quadrature phase correlators producing in-phase and quadrature signals representing a symbol coordinate in the complex plane. This point should correspond to a location in the modulation constellation diagram .

  6. Optical phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phase_space

    Optical phase diagram of a coherent state's distribution across phase space. In quantum optics, an optical phase space is a phase space in which all quantum states of an optical system are described. Each point in the optical phase space corresponds to a unique state of an optical system.

  7. IQ imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_imbalance

    IQ imbalance is a performance-limiting issue in the design of a class of radio receivers known as direct conversion receivers. [a] These translate the received radio frequency (RF, or pass-band) signal directly from the carrier frequency to baseband using a single mixing stage.

  8. Quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature

    Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), a modulation method of using both an (in-phase) carrier wave and a 'quadrature' carrier wave that is 90° out of phase with the main, or in-phase, carrier; Quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), a phase-shift keying of using four quadrate points on the constellation diagram, equispaced around a circle

  9. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    An incremental encoder employs a quadrature encoder to generate its A and B output signals. The pulses emitted from the A and B outputs are quadrature-encoded, meaning that when the incremental encoder is moving at a constant velocity, the A and B waveforms are square waves and there is a 90 degree phase difference between A and B.
