| '''Quadrature amplitude modulation''' ('''QAM''') is both an analog and a digital [[modulation]] scheme. It conveys two analog message signals, or two digital [[bit stream]]s, by changing (''modulating'') the [[amplitude]]s of two [[carrier wave]]s, using the [[amplitude-shift keying]] (ASK) digital modulation scheme or [[amplitude modulation]] (AM) analog modulation scheme. The two carrier waves, usually [[Sine wave|sinusoid]]s, are [[out of phase]] with each other by 90° and are thus called [[Quadrature phase|quadrature]] carriers or quadrature components — hence the name of the scheme. The modulated waves are summed, and the resulting waveform is a combination of both [[phase-shift keying]] (PSK) and [[amplitude-shift keying]] (ASK), or (in the analog case) of phase modulation (PM) and amplitude modulation. In the digital QAM case, a finite number of at least two phases and at least two amplitudes are used. PSK modulators are often designed using the QAM principle, but are not considered as QAM since the amplitude of the modulated carrier signal is constant. QAM is used extensively as a modulation scheme for digital [[telecommunication]] systems. Arbitrarily high [[Spectral efficiency|spectral efficiencies]] can be achieved with QAM by setting a suitable constellation size, limited only by the noise level and linearity of the communications channel.<ref>[http://www.barnardmicrosystems.com/L4E_comms_2.htm UAS UAV communications links<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

| Like all [[modulation]] schemes, QAM conveys [[data]] by changing some aspect of a carrier signal, or the [[carrier wave]], (usually a [[Sine wave|sinusoid]]) in response to a data signal. In the case of QAM, the amplitude of two waves, 90° out-of-phase with each other (in quadrature) are changed (''modulated'' or ''keyed'') to represent the data signal. Amplitude modulating two carriers in quadrature can be equivalently viewed as both amplitude modulating and phase modulating a single carrier.

| [[Phase modulation]] (analog PM) and [[phase-shift keying]] (digital PSK) can be regarded as a special case of QAM, where the magnitude of the modulating signal is a constant, with only the phase varying. This can also be extended to [[frequency modulation]] (FM) and [[frequency-shift keying]] (FSK), for these can be regarded as a special case of phase modulation.

| [[File:PAL colour bar signal measured vector edit.png|200px|right|thumb|Analog QAM: measured PAL colour bar signal on a vector analyser screen.]]
| |
| | |
| When transmitting two signals by modulating them with QAM, the transmitted signal will be of the form:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| s(t) &= \Re \left\{\left[I(t) + i Q(t)\right] e^{i 2 \pi f_0 t}\right\} \\
| |
| &= I(t) \cos(2 \pi f_0 t) - Q(t) \sin(2 \pi f_0 t)
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>\scriptstyle i^2 \;=\; -1</math>, <math>\scriptstyle I(t)</math>, and <math>\scriptstyle Q(t)</math> are the modulating signals, <math>\scriptstyle f_0</math> is the carrier frequency and <math>\Re\{\}</math> is the real part.
| |
| | |
| At the receiver, these two modulating signals can be [[demodulator|demodulated]] using a [[product detector|coherent demodulator]]. Such a receiver multiplies the received signal separately with both a [[cosine]] and [[sine]] signal to produce the received estimates of <math>\scriptstyle I(t)</math> and <math>\scriptstyle Q(t)</math> respectively. Because of the [[orthogonal]]ity property of the carrier signals, it is possible to detect the modulating signals independently.
| |
| | |
| In the ideal case <math>\scriptstyle I(t)</math> is demodulated by multiplying the transmitted signal with a cosine signal:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| r(t) &= s(t) \cos (2 \pi f_0 t) \\
| |
| &= I(t) \cos (2 \pi f_0 t)\cos (2 \pi f_0 t) - Q(t) \sin (2 \pi f_0 t)\cos (2 \pi f_0 t)
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| Using standard [[List of trigonometric identities#Product-to-sum and sum-to-product identities|trigonometric identities]], we can write it as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| r(t) &= \frac{1}{2} I(t) \left[1 + \cos (4 \pi f_0 t)\right] - \frac{1}{2} Q(t) \sin (4 \pi f_0 t) \\
| |
| &= \frac{1}{2} I(t) + \frac{1}{2} [I(t) \cos (4 \pi f_0 t) - Q(t) \sin (4 \pi f_0 t)]
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| [[Low-pass filter]]ing <math>\scriptstyle r(t)</math> removes the high frequency terms (containing <math>\scriptstyle 4\pi f_0 t</math>), leaving only the <math>\scriptstyle I(t)</math> term. This filtered signal is unaffected by <math>\scriptstyle Q(t)</math>, showing that the in-phase component can be received independently of the quadrature component. Similarly, we may multiply <math>\scriptstyle s(t)</math> by a sine wave and then low-pass filter to extract <math>\scriptstyle Q(t)</math>.
| |
| | |
| The phase of the received signal is assumed to be known accurately at the receiver. If the demodulating phase is even a little off, it results in [[crosstalk]] between the modulated signals. This issue of [[carrier synchronization]] at the receiver must be handled somehow in QAM systems. The coherent demodulator needs to be exactly in phase with the received signal, or otherwise the modulated signals cannot be independently received. For example [[analog television]] systems transmit a burst of the transmitting colour subcarrier after each horizontal synchronization pulse for reference.
| |
| | |
| Analog QAM is used in [[NTSC]] and [[PAL]] television systems, where the I- and Q-signals carry the components of chroma (colour) information. "Compatible QAM" or [[C-QUAM]] is used in [[AM stereo]] radio to carry the [[stereo difference]] information.
| |
| | |
| === Fourier analysis of QAM ===
| |
| | |
| In the [[frequency domain]], QAM has a similar spectral pattern to [[DSB-SC]] modulation. Using the [[Fourier transform#Some Fourier transform properties|properties of the Fourier transform]], we find that:
| |
| | |
| :<math>
| |
| S(f) = \frac{1}{2}\left[ M_I(f - f_0) + M_I(f + f_0) \right] + \frac{i}{2}\left[ M_Q(f - f_0) - M_Q(f + f_0) \right]
| |
| </math> | |
| | |
| where ''S''(''f''), ''M''<sub>''I''</sub>(''f'') and ''M''<sub>''Q''</sub>(''f'') are the Fourier transforms (frequency-domain representations) of ''s''(''t''), ''I''(''t'') and ''Q''(''t''), respectively.

| == Quantized QAM ==
| |
| | |
| [[File:QAM16 Demonstration.gif|290px|right|thumb|Digital 16-QAM with example constellation points.]]
| |
| | |
| Like many digital modulation schemes, the [[constellation diagram]] is a useful representation. In QAM, the constellation points are usually arranged in a square grid with equal vertical and horizontal spacing, although other configurations are possible (e.g. Cross-QAM). Since in digital [[telecommunications]] the data are usually [[Binary numeral system|binary]], the number of points in the grid is usually a power of 2 (2, 4, 8, …). Since QAM is usually square, some of these are rare—the most common forms are 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM. By moving to a higher-order constellation, it is possible to transmit more [[bit]]s per [[Symbol (data)|symbol]]. However, if the mean energy of the constellation is to remain the same (by way of making a fair comparison), the points must be closer together and are thus more susceptible to [[noise]] and other corruption; this results in a higher [[bit error rate]] and so higher-order QAM can deliver more data less reliably than lower-order QAM, for constant mean constellation energy. Using higher-order QAM without increasing the bit error rate requires a higher [[signal-to-noise ratio]] (SNR) by increasing signal energy, reducing noise, or both.
| |
| | |
| If data-rates beyond those offered by 8-[[phase-shift keying|PSK]] are required, it is more usual to move to QAM since it achieves a greater distance between adjacent points in the I-Q plane by distributing the points more evenly. The complicating factor is that the points are no longer all the same amplitude and so the [[demodulator]] must now correctly detect both [[phase (waves)|phase]] and [[amplitude]], rather than just phase.
| |
| | |
| 64-QAM and 256-QAM are often used in [[digital cable]] television and [[cable modem]] applications. In the United States, 64-QAM and 256-QAM are the mandated modulation schemes for [[digital cable]] (see [[QAM tuner]]) as standardised by the [[Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers|SCTE]] in the standard [http://www.scte.org/documents/pdf/ANSISCTE072000DVS031.pdf ANSI/SCTE 07 2000]. Note that many marketing people will refer to these as QAM-64 and QAM-256. In the UK, 64-QAM is used for [[digital terrestrial television]] ([[Freeview (UK)|Freeview]]) whilst 256-QAM is used for Freeview-HD.
| |
| | |
| Communication systems designed to achieve very high levels of [[spectral efficiency]] usually employ very dense QAM constellations. For example current Homeplug AV2 500-Mbit [[Power line communication#Home networking .28LAN.29|powerline Ethernet]] devices use 1024-QAM and 4096-QAM modulation, as well as future devices using [[ITU-T]] [[G.hn]] standard for networking over existing home wiring ([[Ethernet over coax|coaxial cable]], [[phone line]]s and [[Power line communication|power lines]]); 4096-QAM provides 12 bits/symbol. Another example is [[VDSL2]] technology for copper twisted pairs, whose constellation size goes up to 32768 points.
| |
| | |
| Ultra-high capacity Microwave Backhaul Systems also use 1024-QAM.<ref>http://www.trangosys.com/products/point-to-point-wireless-backhaul/licensed-wireless/trangolink-apex-orion.shtml A Apex Orion</ref> With 1024-QAM, Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), and XPIC, Vendors can obtain Gigabit capacity in a single 56 Mhz channel.
| |
| | |
| === Ideal structure ===
| |
| | |
| ==== Transmitter ====
| |
| | |
| The following picture shows the ideal structure of a QAM transmitter, with a [[Carrier wave|carrier frequency]] <math>\scriptstyle f_0</math> and the frequency response of the transmitter's filter <math>\scriptstyle H_t</math>:
| |
| | |
| [[File:QAM transmitter.svg|center|380px]]
| |
| | |
| First the flow of bits to be transmitted is split into two equal parts: this process generates two independent signals to be transmitted. They are encoded separately just like they were in an [[amplitude-shift keying]] (ASK) modulator. Then one channel (the one "in phase") is multiplied by a cosine, while the other channel (in "quadrature") is multiplied by a sine. This way there is a phase of 90° between them. They are simply added one to the other and sent through the real channel.
| |
| | |
| The sent signal can be expressed in the form:
| |
| | |
| :<math>s(t) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left[ v_c [n] \cdot h_t (t - n T_s) \cos (2 \pi f_0 t) - v_s[n] \cdot h_t (t - n T_s) \sin (2 \pi f_0 t) \right]</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>\scriptstyle v_c[n]</math> and <math>\scriptstyle v_s[n]</math> are the voltages applied in response to the <math>\scriptstyle n</math><sup>th</sup> symbol to the cosine and sine waves respectively.
| |
| | |
| ==== Receiver ====
| |
| | |
| The receiver simply performs the inverse process of the transmitter. Its ideal structure is shown in the picture below with <math>\scriptstyle H_r</math> the receive filter's frequency response :
| |
| | |
| [[File:QAM receiver.svg|center|500px]]
| |
| | |
| Multiplying by a cosine (or a sine) and by a low-pass filter it is possible to extract the component in phase (or in quadrature). Then there is only an [[Amplitude-shift keying|ASK]] demodulator and the two flows of data are merged back.
| |
| | |
| In practice, there is an unknown phase delay between the transmitter and receiver that must be compensated by ''synchronization'' of the receivers local oscillator; i.e., the sine and cosine functions in the above figure. In mobile applications, there will often be an offset in the relative ''frequency'' as well, due to the possible presence of a Doppler shift proportional to the relative velocity of the transmitter and receiver. Both the phase and frequency variations introduced by the channel must be compensated by properly tuning the sine and cosine components, which requires a ''phase reference'', and is typically accomplished using a [[Phase-locked loop|Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)]].
| |
| | |
| In any application, the low-pass filter will be within ''h<sub>r</sub> (t)'': here it was shown just to be clearer.
| |
| | |
| == Quantized QAM performance ==
| |
| | |
| The following definitions are needed in determining error rates:
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle M</math> = Number of symbols in modulation constellation
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle E_b</math> = Energy-per-[[bit]]
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle E_s</math> = Energy-per-symbol = <math>\scriptstyle kE_b</math> with ''k'' bits per symbol
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle N_0</math> = [[Signal noise|Noise]] [[power spectral density]] ([[Watt|W]]/[[Hertz|Hz]])
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle P_b</math> = [[Probability]] of bit-error
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle P_{bc}</math> = Probability of bit-error per carrier
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle P_s</math> = Probability of symbol-error
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle P_{sc}</math> = Probability of symbol-error per carrier
| |
| * <math>\scriptstyle Q(x) \;=\; \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{x}^{\infty}e^{-\frac{1}{2}t^{2}}dt,\ x \geq 0</math>
| |
| | |
| <math>\scriptstyle Q(x)</math> is related to the [[Error function|complementary Gaussian error function]] by:
| |
| <math>\scriptstyle Q(x) \;=\; \frac{1}{2}\operatorname{erfc}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}x\right)</math>, which is the probability that ''x'' will be under the tail of the Gaussian [[Probability density function|PDF]] towards positive [[infinity#Mathematics|infinity]].
| |
| | |
| The error rates quoted here are those in [[additive white Gaussian noise|additive]] [[white noise|white]] [[Gaussian noise]] ([[AWGN]]).
| |
| | |
| Where [[coordinate]]s for constellation points are given in this article, note that they represent a ''non-normalised'' constellation. That is, if a particular mean average energy were required (e.g. unit average energy), the constellation would need to be linearly scaled.
| |
| | |
| ===Rectangular QAM=== | |
| <!-- This section is linked from [[Phase-shift keying]] -->
| |
| | |
| [[File:16QAM Gray Coded.svg|200px|right|thumb|[[Constellation diagram]] for rectangular 16-QAM.]]
| |
| | |
| Rectangular QAM constellations are, in general, sub-optimal in the sense that they do not maximally space the constellation points for a given energy. However, they have the considerable advantage that they may be easily transmitted as two [[pulse amplitude modulation]] (PAM) signals on quadrature carriers, and can be easily demodulated. The non-square constellations, dealt with below, achieve marginally better bit-error rate (BER) but are harder to modulate and demodulate.
| |
| | |
| The first rectangular QAM constellation usually encountered is 16-QAM, the constellation diagram for which is shown here. A [[Gray code]]d bit-assignment is also given. The reason that 16-QAM is usually the first is that a brief consideration reveals that 2-QAM and 4-QAM are in fact [[phase-shift keying#Binary phase-shift keying (BPSK)|binary phase-shift keying]] (BPSK) and [[phase-shift keying#Quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK)|quadrature phase-shift keying]] (QPSK), respectively. Also, the error-rate performance of 8-QAM is close to that of 16-QAM (only about 0.5 [[decibel|dB]] better{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}}), but its data rate is only three-quarters that of 16-QAM.
| |
| | |
| Expressions for the symbol-error rate of rectangular QAM are not hard to derive but yield rather unpleasant expressions. For an even number of bits per symbol, <math>\scriptstyle k</math>, exact expressions are available. They are most easily expressed in a ''per carrier'' sense:
| |
| :<math>P_{sc} = 2\left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt M}\right)Q\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{M-1}\frac{E_s}{N_0}}\right)</math>
| |
| | |
| so
| |
| :<math>\,P_s = 1 - \left(1 - P_{sc}\right)^2</math>
| |
| | |
| The bit-error rate depends on the bit to symbol mapping, but for <math>\scriptstyle E_b/N_0 \gg 1</math> and a Gray-coded assignment—so that we can assume each symbol error causes only one bit error—the bit-error rate is approximately
| |
| :<math>P_{bc} \approx \frac{P_{sc}}{\frac{1}{2}k} = \frac{4}{k}\left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt M}\right)Q\left(\sqrt{\frac{3k}{M-1}\frac{E_b}{N_0}}\right)</math>.
| |
| | |
| Since the carriers are independent, the overall bit error rate is the same as the per-carrier error rate, just like BPSK and QPSK.
| |
| :<math>\,P_b = P_{bc}</math>
| |
| | |
| ==== Odd-''k'' QAM ====
| |
| | |
| For odd <math>\scriptstyle k</math>, such as 8-QAM (<math>\scriptstyle k \;=\; 3</math>) it is harder to obtain symbol-error rates, but a tight upper bound is:
| |
| :<math>P_s \leq{} 4Q\left(\sqrt{\frac{3kE_b}{(M - 1)N_0}}\;\right) </math>
| |
| | |
| Two rectangular 8-QAM constellations are shown below without bit assignments. These both have the same minimum distance between symbol points, and thus the same symbol-error rate (to a first approximation).
| |
| | |
| The exact bit-error rate, <math>\scriptstyle P_b</math> will depend on the bit-assignment.
| |
| | |
| Note that both of these constellations are seldom used in practice, as the non-rectangular version of 8-QAM is optimal. Example of second constellation's usage: [http://www.comtechefdata.com/articles_papers/LDPC%20and%208-QAM.pdf LDPC and 8-QAM.]

| |
| | |
| It is the nature of QAM that most orders of constellations can be constructed in many different ways and it is neither possible nor instructive to cover them all here. This article instead presents two, lower-order constellations.
| |
| | |
| Two diagrams of circular QAM constellation are shown, for 8-QAM and 16-QAM. The circular 8-QAM constellation is known to be the optimal 8-QAM constellation in the sense of requiring the least mean power for a given minimum Euclidean distance. The 16-QAM constellation is suboptimal although the optimal one may be constructed along the same lines as the 8-QAM constellation. The circular constellation highlights the relationship between QAM and [[phase-shift keying|PSK]]. Other orders of constellation may be constructed along similar (or very different) lines. It is consequently hard to establish expressions for the error rates of non-rectangular QAM since it necessarily depends on the constellation. Nevertheless, an obvious upper bound to the rate is related to the minimum [[Euclidean distance]] of the constellation (the shortest straight-line distance between two points):
| |
| :<math>P_s < (M-1)Q\left(\sqrt{\frac{d_{min}^{2}}{2N_0}}\right)</math>
| |
| | |
| Again, the bit-error rate will depend on the assignment of bits to symbols.
| |
| | |
| Although, in general, there is a non-rectangular constellation that is optimal for a particular <math>\scriptstyle M</math>, they are not often used since the rectangular QAMs are much easier to modulate and demodulate.
| |
| | |
| == Interference and noise ==
| |
| | |
| In moving to a higher order QAM constellation (higher data rate and mode) in hostile [[Radio frequency|RF]]/[[microwave]] QAM application environments, such as in [[broadcasting]] or [[telecommunications]], [[multipath interference]] typically increases. There is a spreading of the spots in the constellation, decreasing the separation between adjacent states, making it difficult for the receiver to decode the signal appropriately. In other words, there is reduced [[Noise#Electronic noise|noise]] immunity. There are several test parameter measurements which help determine an optimal QAM mode for a specific operating environment. The following three are most significant:<ref>
