Power line carrier communication systems usually use quadrature modulation to effectively cancel out-band signals and in-band interfering signals to implement single-side-band (SSB) modulation and use M-QAM to implement high speed data transmission. The analysis and design can be simplified by considering quadrature modulation as the complex signal. The definition of the complex signal
real modulation and complex modulation
the complex low-pass signal representation of real bandpass signal
SSB complex modulation and demodulation
and the application of digital SSB Weaver complex modulation in the digitized carrier communication are described.
