Introduction. An important task faced by the developers of modern telecommunication systems consists in increasing the noise immunity of signal reception in channels with variable parameters. Thus, the communication lines of DVB-T2, DVB-S, and DVB-S2/S2 standards widely apply signal structures (SS) of multi-position quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM). However, an analysis of scientific publications shows that the random nature of the phase change of the transformed signal constellation leads to a loss of noise immunity of the M-QAM signals. Engineering solutions for the effective reception of such signals are lacking. The proposed block diagram of a device for receiving quadrature amplitude signals and the developed operation algorithm for an amplitude-phase detector allow random phase changes to be considered and reduced.Aim. Development of scientific and engineering proposals to improve the efficiency of receiving M-QAM signals in radio channels with random phase changes.Materials and methods. The study was conducted using the methods of noise immunity research, as well as communication theory and signal theory.Results. A block diagram of a device for receiving quadrature amplitude signals and an operation algorithm for an amplitude-phase detector were proposed, which allow random phase changes to be considered and compensated for. Scientific and engineering proposals were formulated to improve the noise immunity of M-QAM reception in channels with variable parameters.Conclusion. The developed scientific and engineering proposals for increasing the noise immunity of multi-position quadrature signals in channels with variable parameters substantiate both the feasibility of using a transformed SS M-QAM with improved energy characteristics, as well as the application of the developed receiving device for processing quadrature amplitude signals and the operation algorithm of an amplitude-phase detector. The results obtained make it possible to perform demodulation with simultaneous compensation of phase distortions to increase the noise immunity of M-QAM signal reception.
