Digital to Analog Modulation technique is as shown.

LMRC AM 2018 15Q 58 Set4 Hindi 16

Important Points

1) As shown, QAM is a mixture of both ASK and PSK.

2) QAM uses two carrier signals with the same frequency but with which are in quadrature. Quadrature here means out phase by 90°.

3) Since the two signals have the same frequency, they are detected using synchronous detection.

4) Hence, amplitude and the phase of the carrier frequency both vary with the message signal.

A constellation diagram of a QAM signal with 2 different amplitude levels and 8 different phases is shown:
