How so? I am just asking extremely interesting questions about video 
technology.

I�ve tried painfully hard to answer my questions doing my own research 
-- including reading information from books. I still haven�t found 
answers to my questions. That is why I am turning to NGs for assistance.

Is Quadrature Frequency Modulation used? What for?

AFAIK, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation uses a combo of AM and 
Phase-Shift-Keying.

So QFM would use a combination of FM and PSK. Would this decrease the 
bandwidth required for broadcasting FM luminance video signals?

I did a Google Search for �Quadrature Frequency Modulation� on 
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Quadrature+Frequency+Modulation+%22&btnG=Search

None of those pages made any sense to me.

One major reason the luminance signals of television are broadcasted on 
an AM-carrier instead of an FM-carrier is because FM requires large 
amounts of bandwidth. Is there a way to use FM video without hogging so 
much bandwidth using QFM?

Does this mean that the FM-equivalents-of-QAM and Constellation 
Modulation can -- at least in theory -- be applied to FM video so that 
excessive bandwidth is not needed? If so, then what would be the minimum 
radio-frequency required to transmit the video signal? Is a 150 kHz 
radio-frequency sufficient to be an FM carrier for this video signal?

Constellation modulation is a type of AM. What�s the FM-equivalent of 
constellation modulation?

Has multiple-level QFM ever been used for video before?
