Higher-order modulation
Encyclopedia
Higher-order modulation is a type of digital modulation usually with an order of 4 or higher. Examples: quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), m-ary quadrature amplitude modulation
(m-QAM), etc.
Quadrature amplitude modulation
Quadrature amplitude modulation is both an analog and a digital modulation scheme. It conveys two analog message signals, or two digital bit streams, by changing the amplitudes of two carrier waves, using the amplitude-shift keying digital modulation scheme or amplitude modulation analog...
