In any system that uses quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), there will be modulators and demodulators. These QAM modulators and demodulators are required to provide the capability to modulate both the in-phase and quadrature components of the modulating signal onto the carrier. QAM is used in a variety of communications systems such as Dial-up modems and WiFi.

QAM modulators are electronic devices which create QAM channels on a cable TV or any other various type of distribution systems. Toner Cable Equipment also carries ASI modulators, which generate an 8VSB modulation, such as that used in off-air broadcast transmission. Quadrature Amplitude Modulation is the modulation standard used over cable TV systems. The modulators take an input signal, typically an ASI or NIP signal, to generate the QAM channels. They can be single-channel QAM modulators, multi-channel modulators (ex. Edge-QAM modulator).
Modulators can handle SD or HD content, otherwise known as “SD modulator” or “HD modulator.” Edge-QAM modulators typically take a package of multiple programs or multiple channel packages, and modulate them onto multiple QAMs. Edge-QAM modulators are typically available from an 8-QAM version, all the way up to a 264-QAM version.
QAM demodulators
The QAM demodulator is simply the reverse of the QAM modulator. The signals enter the system, next they are split and each side is applied to a mixer. One half has the in-phase local oscillator applied and the other half has the quadrature oscillator signal applied. A basic modulator assumes that the two quadrature signals remain exactly in quadrature. A further requirement is to derive a local oscillator signal for the demodulation that is exactly on the required frequency for the signal. Any frequency offset will be a change in the phase of the local oscillator signal with respect to the two double sideband suppressed carrier constituents of the overall signal.
Pros and cons of QAM
The major benefit of QAM modulation variants is efficient usage of bandwidth. This is due to the fact that QAM represent more number of bits per carrier. For example, 16QAM maps 4 bits per carrier, 64QAM maps 6 bits per carrier, 256QAM maps 8 bits per carrier and so on. On the other hand, QAM has some disadvanteges too. QAM modulation is more susceptible to the noise. Due to this QAM receiver is more complex in comparison to receivers of other modulation types. As QAM uses amplitude component of signal to represent binary data, linearity needs to be maintained and hence linear amplifier is needed. That means consuming more power.
