ELI5: Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)

I have tried a few times to wrap my head around this but I need it dimmed down a shade, all help appreciated.

Digital Wireless Mics modulation - Phase, Frequency, Amplitude, or something else?

One of my coworkers is bringing their son in to help me and learn about AV. Because he's a Boy Scout, I'm hoping to hit a few merit badge requirements at the same time. Looking over the "Radio" MB requirements, I see great opportunity to walk through wireless coordination but I realized that I don't actually know the method by which my digital units (Shure QLX-D) work.

I assumed FM due to the the ~360kHz width of a channel but all I can find from the manual under "Modulation Type" is "Shure proprietary digital". Anyone have any resources or avenues to look down so I can understand better to actually somewhat teach it?

Amplitude modulation

So we're discussing about amplitude modulation and one of the questions presented to us is what if the carrier signal has a significantly lower frequency than the modulating signal or the "message" signal and vice versa? The only thing that I can read about this is the one I found on dspstackexchange and I don't quite understand the top rated comment but I do understand the second to the last comment where as I understand that it doesn't matter which is which since modulation is commutative. So if the modulating signal has a higher frequency, then it will just carry the carrier frequency.

I also tested it on Proteus where the audio signal is 500kHz and the carrier signal is 100kHz and the output is looks like the carrier signal but a little bit distorted.

Going back to the question, can someone help me understand what the relationship between carrier signal and modulating signal? What happens if one's frequency is higher than the other?

amplitude for both AC is 5V. Frequency is the only difference between them.

output signal looks like the carrier frequency

Will the DIY sound card oscilloscope help me in analyzing amplifier circuits using BJTs and some stuff like Amplitude modulation?

So, I've looked for an oscilloscope and found out that I can't afford them. (Great :( ). Then I found these DIY sound card oscilloscopes and I have an HP laptop lying around in my house.

I don't know whether this is sufficient for me to analyze signals using transistors or some very basic circuits like amplitude modulation, clippers, clampers, etc. If any one of you guys had experience with this please tell me.

Here's the link to the video of the sound card oscilloscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s-zocXvk2I

Thanks!

Why does AM radio continue to work when you're moving - like in a car, wouldn't the amplitude of the radio signal change as you moved, interfering with the amplitude modulation?

So I understand that AM radio encodes the sound signal in the radio wave by amplitude modulation, so as the radio wave is sent out, the amplitude (signal strength) - controlled by how much power you put into the transmitter - varies in each wave.

What I don't understand is that since the strength of a radio wave will vary with the distance you are from the transmitter, why doesn't AM radio have interference or fail when you are moving? Especially in a car or a plane? Wouldn't the reduction in the signal strength as you move wreck the amplitude modulated signal?

People think they need a complex radio receiver to decode radio waves. Not the case at all! A simple mechanical diaphragm will reject the carrier radio wave and only vibrate with the amplitude of the signal (AM modulation of microwaves). Could it be that this is how V2K is transmitted?

What does shortwave use amplitude modulation rather than frequency modulation?

Why does shortwave use am rather than fm? (I know fm would require new receivers and transmitters)

Amplitude Modulation

I've been an admirer of yours for a long time, and have kept up with you on social media channels. The way you see the world, the words you use, the pictures you take/share are all so very captivating to me. For years I've relished every post you've made.

We don't know each other. We've never met. Occasionally I will comment on something you share, and you will "like" it. And my heart races, skips, when I see the notification. On the very rare occasions when you post a selfie, my breath catches itself and I grin wildly.

I have never been so hungry to get to truly, deeply know another human before in my life. I wish I could listen to you tell stories of your adventures. I wish I could know the sound of your laugh. I wish I could see all the colors within your eyes and your heart. I wish I could know the touch of your hand. I've imagined so many scenarios that won't ever happen. But I can dream.

You are such an incredible person. You add something nostalgic, kind, and wistful to this world. I am happy that at least I am on this planet at the same time as you, and can witness the wonder that is YOU.

If at times you begin to feel sad or lost, please remember that out here in the world there is someone who thinks of you. Remember that your art is meaningful, your poetry heartfelt, your work purposeful.

You are a beautiful man, and I will always see you that way.
