  2. Phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_keying

    Difference of the phase between QPSK and OQPSK. Taking four values of the phase (two bits) at a time to construct a QPSK symbol can allow the phase of the signal to jump by as much as 180° at a time. When the signal is low-pass filtered (as is typical in a transmitter), these phase-shifts result in large amplitude fluctuations, an undesirable ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. Modulation order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation_order

    Examples of these are quadrature phase shift keying and its generalisation as m-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (m-QAM). Because existing computers and automation systems are based on binary logic most of the modulations have an order which is a power of two: 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.

  6. Coherent optical module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_optical_module

    In many cases, the baud rate of the coherent optical interface does not equal the baud rate of the electrical interface. In these cases, a "gearbox" may be used within the module to convert between the rates. Because coherent modules typically have Digital Signal Processors, these gearbox functions sometimes are implemented in firmware.

  7. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    Therefore, the further the points are separated from one another, the greater the noise immunity of the modulation. Practical modulation systems are designed to maximize the minimum noise needed to cause a symbol error; on the constellation diagram this means that the distance between each pair of adjacent points is equal.

  9. 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.
