Hi:
QAM [Quadrature Amplitude Modulation] is superior to spread-spectrum
because the former can sends more bits using less bandwidth than the
later. QAM is is meant to send/receive large amounts of info while
saving bandwidth. Yet so many cell phones and wireless internet routers,
modems, and access points use spread spectrum. Why? It would make a lot
more sense if they switch to QAM, so that wireless internet access can
be faster and cell phones reception can be more efficient. Sure QAM has
more RFI than spread spectrum but it definitely beats the annoying
aliasing you get when using spread-spectrum.
In addition, wireless internets and cell phones should use radio
frequencies that are in or close to the UHF range. UHF is the most
efficient spectrum for radio communications. Last but not least, the
carrier waves should be AM, not FM. FM uses too much bandwidth and cuts
of many other users. AM won't do that. AM's chief drawbacks are the
EMI/RFI resulting from magnetic disruptions, however this only affects
analog reception. QAM is a digital modulation scheme and as such it is
immune to the electromagnetic disturbances that would normally hinder
analog telecommunications.
Any questions/comments welcome.
Thanks,
Radium
