I wish I could answer that question. It�s a matter of personal 
preference. I�ve got this urge to get what I know I can�t have. FM video 
is one of them. Hence, I want to do anything possible to transmit the 
luminance component of video signals on FM without hogging excessive 
bandwidth.

QAM/multiple-level-QM/constellation-modulation are examples of exotic 
modulation techniques that allow you to transmit/receive the most amount 
of information while using the least amount of bandwidth. To further 
prevent excessive usage of bandwidth while maintaining signal 
efficiency, the baud should be no more than 1-symbol-per-second while 
the amounts of bits-per-symbol conveyed should be the most that is 
physically and mathematically-possible.

Before being transmitted on the FM carrier, the luminance video signal 
should be converted to QAM, multiple-level-QM, and/or 
constellation-modulation. The 
QAM/multiple-level-QM/constellation-modulation version of the video 
signal won�t consume as much FM bandwidth as the original video signal.

If the original luma is transmitted on an FM carrier, the resulting 
deviations in the frequency of the FM wave will be excessive. If the 
QAM/multiple-level-QM/constellation-modulation equivalent of the luma is 
transmitted, the resulting frequency-deviations will be significantly 
smaller and hence use a lot less bandwidth.

I�ve got a neurological disorder which I would like to discuss briefly. 
I am not trying to make excuses for any of my posts but I don�t want 
readers to wrongly-assume that I troll/spam NGs just for attention. I am 
really interested in the stuff I post about and wish that the readers 
would not get upset at me.

I have a neurological disability called Asperger's Syndrome.

I would like to give you all some information about my disability. The 
reason I am posting this message about Asperger's is to help avoid any 
potential misunderstandings [though it's probably too late].

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a 
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social 
interactions. People with AS see the world differently and this can 
often bring them in conflict with conventional ways of thinking. They 
have difficulty in reading body language, and interpreting subtle cues. 
In my situation, I have significant difficulty with natural 
conversation, reading social cues, and maintaining eye contact. This can 
lead to a great deal of misunderstanding about my intent or my behavior. 
For example, I may not always know what to say in social situations, so 
I may look away or may not say anything. I also may not always respond 
quickly when asked direct questions, but if given time I am able express 
my ideas.

On Usenet, the cyber-equivalent of my disability is probably noticed. I 
do apologize profusely, for any inconvenience it causes.

Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation, and 
assistance.


Regards,

Radium
