QUADRATURE AMPLITUDE MODULATION (QAM)
EXAMPLE USING THE AD9763
QAM is one of the most widely used digital modulation
schemes in digital communications systems. This modulation
technique can be found in FDM as well as spread spectrum
(that is, CDMA) based systems. A QAM signal is a carrier
frequency that is modulated in both amplitude (that is, AM
modulation) and phase (that is, PM modulation). It can be
generated by independently modulating two carriers of
identical frequency but with a 90° phase difference. This results
in an in-phase (I) carrier component and a quadrature (Q) carrier
component at a 90° phase shift with respect to the I component.
The I and Q components are then summed to provide a QAM
signal at the specified carrier frequency.
A common and traditional implementation of a QAM
modulator is shown in Figure 83. The modulation is performed
in the analog domain in which two DACs are used to generate
the baseband I and Q components. Each component is then
typically applied to a Nyquist filter before being applied to
a quadrature mixer. The matching Nyquist filters shape and
limit each component’s spectral envelope while minimizing
intersymbol interference. The DAC is typically updated at the
QAM symbol rate, or at a multiple of the QAM symbol rate if an
interpolating filter precedes the DAC. The use of an
interpolating filter typically eases the implementation and
complexity of the analog filter, which can be a significant
contributor to mismatches in gain and phase between the two

baseband channels. A quadrature mixer modulates the I and Q
components with the in-phase and quadrature carrier
frequency and then sums the two outputs to provide the QAM
signal.
In this implementation, it is much more difficult to maintain
proper gain and phase matching between the I and Q channels.
The circuit implementation shown in Figure 84 helps improve the
matching between the I and Q channels, and it shows a path for
upconversion using the AD8346 quadrature modulator.
The AD9763 provides both I and Q DACs a common reference
that improves the gain matching and stability. R

channels. The mismatch can be attributed to the mismatch
between R
channel, and/or the voltage offset of the control amplifier in
each DAC. The differential voltage outputs of both DACs in the
AD9763 are fed into the respective differential inputs of the
AD8346 via matching networks.
