PSK
Phase Shift Keying is essentially a variation of QAM where the amplitude remains constant but that the separation of phase is shifted between the two carriers.
Each step in the phase adjustment is assigned a pattern of bits and data is modulated onto the two carriers by selecting the proper phase for a given bit pattern. The receiver then compares the phase of the two signals to a reference source in order to derive their current setting.
