Performance of 32kb/s ADPCM for data transmission

Abstract

This study introduces a brand-new modified QAM modem that transmits data at a rate of 14.4 kbps over a 32 kbps Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) channel. This modified QAM modem’s goal is to lessen the nonlinear distortion that ADPCM introduces. The effectiveness of ADPCM is investigated using modified and regular QAM modems with various constellations. The simulation findings demonstrate that ADPCM performs better when using a customized QAM modem than when using a normal QAM modem. Additionally, a circular constellation performs better than a rectangular one.
