Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A network operator needs to improve data rates for video streaming during a major sports event without increasing spectrum. How can 16-QAM facilitate this?

💡 Hint: Think about the role of bits per symbol and network efficiency.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a scenario where the signal quality is poor. Why might 16-QAM lead to more transmission issues compared to QPSK?

💡 Hint: Focus on how signal quality impacts different modulation types.
