Which outcome occurs when quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) distorts a transmitted signal?

💡 Explanation

Impairment arises because QAM decodes data by phase and amplitude; thus, phase and amplitude distortion prevents correct demodulation, therefore directly undermining data integrity, rather than affecting signal noise, carrier frequency, or specific spectral leakage.
