2048-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
The 2048QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is a highly advanced digital modulation scheme utilised to transmit data through a communication channel. It combines both amplitude and phase modulation to achieve high data rates. In 2048QAM, the transmitted signal is divided into 2048 different states, each representing 11 bits of data. This allows for a significant increase in the amount of data transmitted per symbol, making it an efficient method for high-speed data transmission. However, it requires an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio to maintain data integrity, making it more susceptible to noise and interference. Latest generation microwave radios make use of 2048QAM.
