What is phase ambiguity?
Phase ambiguity is produced by an interaction between ITD magnitude and sound frequency. (A) Phase ambiguity occurs because it is unclear whether the waveform in the right ear (grey) is delayed (ΔΦ1) or advanced (ΔΦ2) with respect to the waveform in the left ear (black).
What is phase ambiguity in BPSK?
Phase ambiguity is a problem in the demodulation of a BPSK signal. There are techniques available to overcome this. One such sends a training sequence, of known format, to enable the receiver to select the desired phase, following which the training sequence is replaced by the normal data (until synchronism is lost !).
What is I and Q in QAM?
QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) is a method of combining two amplitude-modulated (AM) signals into a single channel, thereby doubling the effective bandwidth. One signal is called the I signal, and the other is called the Q signal.
What is the three carrier ambiguity resolution?
The technique is based on the use of three modulated carriers which theoretically allow to reduce the number of candidate points of the ambiguity to only one, hence making extremely precise navigation possible in real-time.
What is the meaning of QAM?
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
A combination of amplitude and phase modulation (and shift-keying) techniques used to transmit 9,600 bits per second (bps) over a 2,400-baud line.
What causes range ambiguity?
Range ambiguity occurs more often when a relatively high PRF is used. Range ambiguity may be used for mapping of abnormal flow beyond the range of PW or for recording of high velocities at sample volumes far from the transducer without frequency aliasing.
What is range ambiguity in ultrasound?
Range-ambiguity artifacts (RAAs) are an erroneous mapping of returning echoes into a composite picture. This phenomenon is actually a combination of two phenomena: a ring-down artifact and RAA. This form is referred to as “complex RAA (searchlight phenomenon)” in this review.
What are the different types of QAM modulation?

How is quadrature amplitude modulation used in digital communications?
Quadrature amplitude modulation, QAM, when used for digital transmission for radio communications applications is able to carry higher data rates than ordinary amplitude modulated schemes and phase modulated schemes. Basic signals exhibit only two positions which allow the transfer of either a 0 or 1.
How is the constellation diagram used in QAM?
Using QAM there are many different points that can be used, each having defined values of phase and amplitude. This is known as a constellation diagram. The different positions are assigned different values, and in this way a single signal is able to transfer data at a much higher rate.
What is the difference between analogue and digital QAM?
Quadrature amplitude modulation, QAM may exist in what may be termed either analogue or digital formats. The analogue versions of QAM are typically used to allow multiple analogue signals to be carried on a single carrier.
