Modulation
Methods
1. QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying):
- QPSK is a digital modulation scheme that conveys data by changing, or
modulating, the phase of a carrier wave.
- In QPSK, there are four possible phase shifts (0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees),
each representing two bits of data per symbol.
- This technique effectively doubles the data rate compared to standard
Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), which only uses two phase shifts.

2. 16QAM (16-Quadrature Amplitude

Modulation):
- 16QAM is a modulation scheme that encodes data as variations in the
amplitude and phase of a carrier wave.
- In 16QAM, each symbol represents four bits of data. It uses four different
amplitudes and four different phases, allowing for 16 different combinations.
- It offers higher data rates compared to QPSK but is more susceptible to
noise and interference due to the increased number of symbol variations.
3. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing):
- OFDM is a modulation technique used in wireless communication systems,
including Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G.
- It divides the available spectrum into multiple orthogonal subcarriers, each
carrying a low-rate data stream.
- By using orthogonal subcarriers, OFDM enables efficient use of the
frequency spectrum and helps mitigate the effects of multipath interference.
- OFDM is particularly effective in high-data-rate applications and is known for
its robustness in dealing with frequency-selective fading.

4. MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output):

- MIMO is a technology that uses multiple antennas at both the transmitter
and receiver to improve communication performance.
- By transmitting multiple data streams simultaneously and exploiting the
spatial diversity of the radio channel, MIMO can significantly increase data
throughput and improve link reliability.
- MIMO systems can achieve spatial multiplexing, diversity gain, and
beamforming to enhance spectral efficiency and coverage.
- It is widely deployed in modern wireless communication standards such as
LTE, Wi-Fi, and 5G to achieve higher data rates and better signal reliability.
