+In this section we will briefly give the mathematical background required by the modulation schemes used in the project. For conciseness encoding schemes and (digital) signal processing calculations are left out and discussed later. Thus in this section is \(m_e = m\).

+\paragraph{AM / DSB}
+
+Ordinary amplitude modulation (AM), sometimes also known as double sideband (DSB) modulation in its simplest form is mathematically formulated in time and frequency domain through the following equations\cite{Hsu}:
+\begin{subequations}
+ \begin{align}
+ x(t) &= \big( 1 + \mu m(t) \big) x_c(t), \\
+ X(\omega) &= \pi\delta(-\omega_c)
+ + \pi\delta(\omega_c)
+ + \frac{\mu}{2} M(\omega - \omega_c)
+ + \frac{\mu}{2} M(\omega + \omega_c).
+ \end{align}
+\end{subequations}
+Where \(\mu > 0\) is the so called modulation factor, that can be adjusted to avoid clipping and improve performance.

+\subsection{Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)}
+
+Quadrature amplitude modulation is a family of modern digital modulation methods, that use an analog carrier signal. In general a QAM signal has the form
