  2. 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 ...

  3. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency...

    The orthogonality allows for efficient modulator and demodulator implementation using the FFT algorithm on the receiver side, and inverse FFT on the sender side. Although the principles and some of the benefits have been known since the 1960s, OFDM is popular for wideband communications today by way of low-cost digital signal processing ...

  4. 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 .

  5. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    A 'signal space diagram' is an ideal constellation diagram showing the correct position of the point representing each symbol. After passing through a communication channel, due to electronic noise or distortion added to the signal, the amplitude and phase received by the demodulator may differ from the correct value for the symbol. When ...

  6. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

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

    The phase modulation (φ(t), not shown) is a non-linearly increasing function from 0 to π /2 over the interval 0 < t < 16. The two amplitude-modulated components are known as the in-phase component (I, thin blue, decreasing) and the quadrature component (Q, thin red, increasing).

  7. Phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_keying

    Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation process which conveys data by changing (modulating) the phase of a constant frequency carrier wave.The modulation is accomplished by varying the sine and cosine inputs at a precise time.

  8. 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] There are many types of modulation, and there are many types of ...

  9. Costas loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costas_loop

    The transition to the analysis of an autonomous dynamical model of the Costas loop (in place of the non-autonomous one) allows one to overcome the difficulties related to modeling the Costas loop in the time domain, where one has to simultaneously observe a very fast time scale of the input signals and slow time scale of signal's phase.
