Questions and Answers

What is the main idea behind multicarrier modulation?

Using the entire bandwidth of the frequency to transmit signals with different amplitudes and phases

Transmitting signals with the same amplitude and phase over a wideband channel

Allocating each signal to a specific time slot within a frame

Breaking a wideband channel into multiple parallel narrowband channels using orthogonal channel partitioning (correct)

How does multicarrier modulation differ from QAM?

QAM transmits signals with the same amplitudes and phases, while multicarrier modulation can employ different modulation techniques in each sub-channel (correct)

QAM breaks a wideband channel into multiple parallel narrowband channels, while multicarrier modulation transmits multiple signals over the same channel

QAM involves breaking the frequency band into sub-bands, while multicarrier modulation uses the entire bandwidth

QAM increases system capacity, while multicarrier modulation does not affect system capacity

Study Notes

Natural Frequency Band

The natural frequency band is between 300-3300Hz, corresponding to a wavelength of approximately 90km.
Antenna size is often one-quarter of the wavelength.

Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM)

PAM is a modulation technique used to transmit digital signals.
In PAM, a basic pulse is time delayed and its amplitude is varied according to the bit stream.
The symbol rate is half the bit rate, as 2 bits make up 1 symbol.

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)

QAM is a modulation technique that combines amplitude and phase modulation.
QAM is bandwidth efficient and commonly used in wired and wireless networks.
QAM signals use two sinusoidal carriers that are 90° out of phase on the same frequency band.
QAM signal s(t) = AI cos(2πfc t) + AQ sin(2πfc t).

QAM Example

To represent 3 bits at a time, 8 amplitude levels are needed, but QAM uses 2 amplitude values and 4 phase values instead.
This allows for coding the bit stream into sinusoidal signals of different amplitudes and phases.

Multicarrier Modulation

Multicarrier modulation breaks the frequency band into sub-bands or channels.
Each sub-channel can employ a different modulation technique, increasing system capacity.
The main idea is to "Break a wideband channel into multiple parallel narrowband channels by means of orthogonal channel partitioning."
