I was wondering if you can implement analog PLL circuits for phase synchronization in communication systems that transmit MQAM modulation signals?
I heard that you can't use analog PLL because QAM modulation doesn't have a carrier wave in the modulated signal, but QAM modulation does have to carrier waves in its modulated signal (Inphase and Quadrature).
So I'm a bit confused and will be happy to get clarification.
Thank you.
Note: I already asked that question on ee.se but didn't get any reply yet.
