| QAM |
QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is a modulation technique in which there are 16 possible four-bit patterns, determined by the combination of phase and amplitude. |
| QAM Lock |
A cable modem scans the entire frequency spectrum looking for a 6 MHz channel where the MPEG-2 frames are stamped with a PID of 0x1ffe. Once the cable modem finds a 6 MHz channel that carries this type of MPEG-2 frame, it achieves what is called a QAM lock. |
| QoS |
QoS (Quality of Service) is a term that describes the ability of a network to provide a particular level of service availability. QoS levels can range from best-effort to dedicated bandwidth. QoS is a technical term associated with ATM, but is commonly used to describe the concept of guaranteed availability for a wider range of technologies. |
