A Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) method and apparatus including a QAM transmit modulator with at least one unbalanced mixer, which creates an asymmetric two-dimensional (2-D) QAM symbol constellation. The asymmetrical symbol constellation provides baseband symbol clock signal leakage sufficient to facilitate quick and simple baseband symbol clock recovery and signal channel compensation at the QAM receiver without significantly degrading the system bit-error rate (BER). While slightly degrading static BER, overall system performance is improved when considering baseband symbol clock recovery and received signal compensation for an imperfect signal channel. This allows QAM to be deployed in systems where QAM is otherwise prohibitively expensive and improves overall system performance for any existing QAM system application without additional bandwidth, cost or complexity.

Cathodic protection voltages are used to resist the damage to pipes or cables from electrolytic effects. However, localized fields can lead to stray currents and may result in corrosion and it is therefore desirable to detect and analyse those stray currents. Frequently there are several pipes in the area of interest and so it is necessary to distinguish between those pipes. Therefore the cathodic voltage on the pipes is modulated, with different pipes having different modulations. This modulation may be applied using an interrupter. Orthogonal modulations with non-unitary aspect ratios improve the discrimination between the pipes while maximizing the energy content of the modulation pattern. The analysis is improved when the interrupters are synchronized with each other and so repeating on the same time-base. This synchronization may be achieved using an external time signal such as GPS. An interrupter which can be used in this regard is also proposed, and may be powered from the cathodic voltage itself.

A method and apparatus reduces error in a communication system that includes multiple orthogonal subcarriers by suppressing a subcarrier in a transmitting communication device and by equalizing a received signal in a receiving communication device. Subcarrier suppression is based on a determination of a signal quality metric with respect to each subcarrier or is based on a determination of excessive signal power overdriving an amplifier of the receiving communication device. Equalization of the received signal is based on an equalization function that reduces a multipath delay introduced to the transmitted signal when the multipath delay exceeds a tolerable multipath delay.
