256-QAM A variation on the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal modulation scheme. 256-QAM yields 256 possible signal combinations, with each symbol representing eight bits (28 = 256). The yield of this complex modulation scheme is that the transmission rate is eight times the signaling rate. In the United States, 256-QAM is used in digital CATV applications.
