4096-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
The 4096QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is a highly advanced digital modulation scheme utilised predominantly in broadband communication systems, such as advanced microwave transmission. This scheme allows for the transmission of large amounts of data by modulating both the amplitude and phase of the carrier signal, resulting in 4096 distinct states or points on the constellation diagram. Each point represents 12 bits of data, thereby significantly increasing the data rate. However, the complexity of 4096QAM makes it extremely susceptible to noise and interference, requiring a high signal-to-noise ratio for effective operation.
