\frametitle{From PAM to QAM}
\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item error analysis for PAM along the lines of binary signaling
\item can we increase the throughput even further?
\item here's a wild idea, let's use complex numbers

\frametitle{QAM}
\intro{it's unfortunate that the In-phase component (which is the real part) induces the subscript "I" - say that in the book the notation is I and Q...}
mapper:
\begin{itemize}
\item split incoming bitstream into chunks of $M$ bits, $M$ even
\item use $M/2$ bits to define a PAM sequence $a_r[n]$
\item use the remaining $M/2$ bits to define an independent PAM sequence $a_i[n]$
