512-QAM

A variation on the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal modulation scheme.

512-QAM yields 512 possible signal combinations, with each symbol representing nine bits (29 = 512).

The yield of this complex modulation scheme is that the transmission rate is nine times the signaling rate.
