Systems and devices are provided for receiving or transmitting IQ data (e.g., suitable for passband quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)) over a wireline using pairs of baseband pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-n) signals. Encoding circuitry may map data from an input bit stream to IQ data that includes an in-phase component and a quadrature-phase component. Modulator circuitry may determine an in-phase PAM-n signal based on the in-phase component and a quadrature-phase PAM-n signal based on the quadrature-phase component. Driver circuitry may transmit the in-phase PAM-n signal and the quadrature-phase PAM-n signal across a wireline channel. The in-phase PAM-n signal may be different by 90° from the quadrature-phase PAM-n signal. This may enable a remote receiver on the wireline channel to detect the in-phase PAM-n signal independently of the quadrature-phase PAM-n signal.
