  2. 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 ...

  3. Modulation error ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation_error_ratio

    A signal sent by an ideal transmitter or received by a receiver would have all constellation points precisely at the ideal locations, however various imperfections in the implementation (such as noise, low image rejection ratio, phase noise, carrier suppression, distortion, etc.) or signal path cause the actual constellation points to deviate ...

  4. C-QUAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-QUAM

    A number of HD radio tuners have the limited ability to decode C-Quam stereo transmissions, (typically with lower bandwidth), and as a result, reduced audio quality than what could be expected from a specifically designed AMAX/C-QUAM only tuner. C-QUAM AM Stereo transmissions have the same range as AM Monural transmission, a key benefit.

  5. DVB-C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-C

    QAM Mapper: the bit sequence is mapped into a base-band digital sequence of complex symbols. There are 5 allowed modulation modes: 16- QAM , 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-QAM, 256-QAM. Base-band shaping: the QAM signal is filtered with a raised-cosine shaped filter, in order to remove mutual signal interference at the receiving side.

  6. Quadrature amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

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

    Analog QAM is used in: NTSC and PAL analog color television systems, where the I- and Q-signals carry the components of chroma (colour) information. The QAM carrier phase is recovered from a special colorburst transmitted at the beginning of each scan line. C-QUAM ("Compatible QAM") is used in AM stereo radio to carry the stereo difference ...

  7. Demodulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodulation

    Demodulation is the process of extracting the original information-bearing signal from a carrier wave.A demodulator is an electronic circuit (or computer program in a software-defined radio) that is used to recover the information content from the modulated carrier wave. [1]

  8. 8VSB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8VSB

    ATSC and DVB-T specify the modulation used for over-the-air digital television; by comparison, QAM is the modulation method used for cable. The specifications for a cable-ready television, then, might state that it supports 8VSB (for broadcast TV) and QAM (for cable TV). 8VSB is an 8-level vestigial sideband modulation.

  9. ATSC tuner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATSC_tuner

    An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner, often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner, is a type of television tuner that allows reception of digital television (DTV) television channels that use ATSC standards, as transmitted by television stations in North America (including parts of Central America) and South Korea.
