Before explaining how the two carrier signals are generated, we first need to discuss some important mathematical properties \(\phi_i\) and \(\phi_q\) need to have, in order to modulate two messages over the same frequency \(\omega_c\). The two carriers need to be \emph{orthonormal}\footnote{Actually orthogonality alone would be sufficient, however then the left side of \eqref{eqn:orthonormal-condition} would not equal 1, and an inconvenient factor would be introduced in many later equations.} to each other, mathematically this is expressed by the conditions
\begin{subequations} \label{eqn:orthonormal-conditions}
\begin{align}
- \langle \phi_i | \phi_q \rangle
+ \langle \phi_i, \phi_q \rangle
&= \int_T \phi_i \phi_q^* \, dt
= 0, \text{ and } \label{eqn:orthogonal-condition} \\
- \langle \phi_k | \phi_k \rangle
+ \langle \phi_k, \phi_k \rangle
&= \int_T \phi_k \phi_k^* \,dt = 1,
\text{ where } k \text{ is either } i \text{ or } q. \label{eqn:orthonormal-condition}

%% TODO: is this assumption correct?
Notice that assuming \(m_i\) and \(m_q\) are constant\footnote{This is an approximation assuming that the signal changes much slower relative to the carrier.} over the carrier's period \(T\),
\begin{align*}
- \langle s | \phi_i \rangle = \int_T s \phi_i^* \,dt
+ \langle s, \phi_i \rangle = \int_T s \phi_i^* \,dt
&= \int m_i \phi_i \phi_i^* + m_q \phi_q \phi_i^* \,dt \\
&= m_i \underbrace{\int_T \phi_i \phi_i^* \,dt}_{1}
+ m_q \underbrace{\int_T \phi_q \phi_i^* \,dt}_{0} = m_i,
\end{align*}
-which effectively means that it is possible to isolate a single component \(m_i(t)\) out of \(s(t)\). The same of course works with \(\phi_q\) as well resulting in \(\langle s | \phi_q \rangle = m_q\). Thus (remarkably) it is possible to send two signals on the same frequency, without them interfering with each other. Since each signal can represent one of \(\sqrt{M}\) values, by having two we obtain \(\sqrt{M} \cdot \sqrt{M} = M\) possible combinations.

A graphical way to see what is happening, is to observe a so called \emph{constellation diagram}. An example is shown in figure \ref{fig:qam-constellation} for \(M = 16\). The two carrier signals \(\phi_i\) and \(\phi_q\) can be understood as bases of a coordinate system.
