    HDTV TRANSMODULATOR - Dual 8PSK to QAM 10. Distribution Bandwidth considerations The bandwidth of a transmodulated QAM signal depends on the parameters of the incoming satellite signal (baud rate, modulation and FEC) and on the QAM constellation selected for the output carrier. For the same parameters of Whenever channel bandwidth the satellite signal, the higher the QAM order, the narrower the QAM signal is.
