Which outcome occurs when a microwave transmitter experiences signal distortion in quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)?

💡 Explanation

Increased bit error rate occur because phase noise introduces errors into the received signal during demodulation. This is due to constellation points being misinterpreted during symbol detection; therefore BER increases rather than improving spectral efficiency or reducing distortion, which would require signal clarity.
