PULSE MODULATION
Pulse Modulation consists essentially :
Sampling analog information signal
Converting samples into discrete pulses
Transport the pulses from source to destination
over physical transmission medium.
Four (4) Methods

PAM
Analog Pulse Modulation

Analog Pulse Modulation
Carrier signal is pulse waveform and the
modulated signal is where one of the carrier
signals characteristic (either amplitude,
width or position) is changed according to
information signal.
information signal.
Width & position constant.

Sampling
Sampling : A process of taking samples of information
signal at a rate of Nyquists sampling frequency.
The Nyquist sampling theorem establishes the
minimum sampling rate (fs) that can be used for a
given PCM system.
Nyquists Sampling Theorem :
fs 2fm(max)
where:
(hertz)
Contd...
Consequently, the minimum sampling rate is
equal to twice the highest audio input
frequency.
If fs is less than two times fm, distortion will
result. This distortion is called aliasing or
foldover distortion.
.
Natural Sampling
Tops of the sample pulses retain their
natural shape during the sample interval.
Frequency spectrum of the sampled output
is different from an ideal sample.
Amplitude of frequency components
produced from narrow, finite-width sample
pulses decreases for the higher harmonics
Requiring the use of frequency equalizers
Natural Sampling
Flat-top Sampling
Common used in PCM systems.
Accomplish in a sample-and-hold circuit
To periodically sample the continually
changing analog input voltage & convert to
a series of constant-amplitude PAM voltage
levels.
Contd
Sampling process alters the frequency
spectrum & introduces aperture error.
The amplitude of the sampled signal
changes during the sample pulse
time.
Advantages:
Introduces less aperture distortion
Can operate with a slower ADC
