digital modulation

In telecommunication: Advanced methods
…latter form of modulation is quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). QAM signals actually transmit two amplitude-modulated signals in phase quadrature (i.e., 90° apart), so that four or more bits are represented by each shift of the combined signal. Communications systems that employ QAM include digital cellular systems in the United States…

modems

In modem: The first generation
One important modulation method was quadrature amplitude modulation, or QAM. In QAM, binary digits are conveyed as discrete amplitudes in two phases of the electromagnetic wave, each phase being shifted by 90 degrees with respect to the other. The frequency of the carrier signal was in the range of 1,800…
