Abstract

A signal structure for high speed data communication selects each signal point in the structure to attain a low probability of error in the presence of both additive noise and multiplicative noise. Transmission apparatus for practice of the invention employs an encoder which responds to digital data to produce a QAM signal having parameters selected according to the new signal structure, and receiving apparatus employs a decoder which converts a received QAM signal to digital values according to the same structure.
