  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  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. Minimum-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum-shift_keying

    In digital modulation, minimum-shift keying (MSK) is a type of continuous-phase frequency-shift keying that was developed in the late 1950s by Collins Radio employees Melvin L. Doelz and Earl T. Heald. [1]

    A diagram of a salient pole machine with direct (d) and quadrature (q) axes The air gap of the machines with a salient pole rotor is quite different along the pole axis (so called direct axis ) and in the orthogonal direction (so called quadrature axis ).
