8 Qam

QAM is a form of digital modulation that uses both amplitude and phase to encode information. It works by mapping bits to symbols arranged on a constellation diagram to maximize the distance between symbols, reducing errors. QAM is similar to PSK but varies both the amplitude and phase of the carrier signal. Higher order QAM encodings like 8-QAM and 16-QAM carry more bits per symbol by using more signal points with varying amplitude and phase levels.

A form of digital modulation similar to PSK except that the information is contained both in amplitude and phase of the

transmitted carrier Amplitude and phase shift keying combined in such a way that the positions of the signaling elements on the constellation diagrams are optimized to achieve the greatest distance between elements Reduces occurrence of errors

Similar to 8-PSK where M=8 except that the amplitude is not constant

Sample: For a tribit input of QIC=000 , determine the output amplitude and phase for an 8-QAM transmitter

Input bit rate in the I and Q channel(fbQ = fbI), highest fundamental frequency (fa), and minimum bandwidth same as in 8-PSK

Almost identical to 8-PSK except for the PAM levels at the output of the product detectors and the binary signals at the output of the ADC Also with 8-QAM, the binary output signals from the I channel ADC are the I and C bits, and the binary output signals from the Q channel ADC are the Q and C bits

Similar to 16-PSK ( n=4, M=16), except that both phase and amplitude of the transmitted carrier are varied.

Sample: For a quadbit input of IIQQ = 0000, determine the output amplitude and phase of the 16-QAM modulator

Sample For a 16-QAM modulator with an input bit rate of 10 Mbps and carrier frequency of 70 MHz, determine the minimum double sided Nyquist bandwidth and the baud.
