  2. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

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

    I(t) and Q(t) are the time-series data for the in-phase and quadrature components. S is the signal . IQ data has extensive use in many signal processing contexts, including for radio modulation, software-defined radio, audio signal processing and electrical engineering. I/Q data is a two-dimensional stream.

  3. Amplitude and phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

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

    Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) can be considered a subset of APSK because all QAM schemes modulate both the amplitude and phase of the carrier. Conventionally, QAM constellations are rectangular and APSK constellations are circular, however this is not always the case.

  4. 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.

  5. Code-division multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-division_multiple_access

    CDMA is often used with binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) in its simplest form, but can be combined with any modulation scheme like (in advanced cases) quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), which typically makes it very robust and efficient (and equipping them with accurate ranging ...

  6. Quadrature amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

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

    Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is the name of a family of digital modulation methods and a related family of analog modulation methods widely used in modern telecommunications to transmit information.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexing

    Multiplexing is provided by the physical layer of the OSI model, while multiple access also involves a media access control protocol, which is part of the data link layer. The Transport layer in the OSI model, as well as TCP/IP model, provides statistical multiplexing of several application layer data flows to/from the same computer.

  9. Carrier recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_recovery

    Once correctly aligned/recovered, the quadrature signals also successfully demodulate the signal. Costas loop carrier recovery may be used for any M-ary PSK modulation scheme. [ 5 ] One of the Costas Loop's inherent shortcomings is a 360/M degree phase ambiguity present on the demodulated output.
