INTRODUCTION
Modulation is the process of frequency
translation in which any one
parameter(Amplitude, frequency or phase)
of high frequency carrier signal is varied in
accordance with instantaneous value of
low frequency modulating signal.
Modulation is either analog or digital.

INTRODUCTION
Many signals in modern communication
systems are digital
Additionally, analog signals are transmitted
digitally
Digitizing a signal results in reduced
distortion and improvement in signal-to-
noise ratios

INTRODUCTION
A digital signal is superior to an analog
signal because it is more robust to noise
and can easily be recovered, corrected
and amplified. For this reason, the
tendency today is to change an analog
signal to digital data.
The process of transmitting signals in the
form of pulses (discontinuous signals) by
using special techniques.

Sampling
The process of transmitting signals in the
form of pulses (discontinuous signals) by
using special techniques.
The signal is sampled at regular intervals
such that each sample is propotional to the
amplitude of signal at that instant.This
technique is called sampling.
Sampling is common in all pulse
modulation techniques.

Sampling
Analog signal is sampled every T

secs.
T
s
is referred to as the sampling interval.
f
s
= 1/T
s
is called the sampling rate or
sampling frequency.
There are 3 sampling methods:
Ideal - an impulse at each sampling
instant
Natural - a pulse of short width with
varying amplitude
Flat top - sample and hold, like natural
but with single amplitude value

11
Sampling Rate
Nyquist showed that it is possible to
reconstruct a band-limited signal from
periodic samples, as long as the sampling
rate is at least twice the frequency of the of
highest frequency component of the signal
i.e. fs 2fm
where fs is sampling rate
Sampling rates that are too low result in
aliasing or foldover

Sampling
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
13
Sampling
Sampling alone is not a digital technique
The immediate result of sampling is a
pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM)
signal
PAM is an analog scheme in which the
amplitude of the pulse is proportional to the
amplitude of the signal at the instant of
sampling
Another analog pulse-forming technique is
known as pulse-duration modulation
(PDM). This is also known as pulse-width
modulation (PWM)
Pulse-position modulation is closely
related to PDM
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
14
Pulse Amplitude Modulation
In PAM,amplitude of pulses is varied in
accordance with instantaneous value of
modulating signal.

The carrier is in the form of narrow pulses having

to generate PAM signal.Samples are placed Ts sec away
from each other.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
16
Pulse Amplitude Modulation
Depending upon the shape and polarity of
the sampled pulses, PAM is of two types,
Natural PAM sampling occurs when top
portion of the pulses are subjected to
follow the modulating wave.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
17
Pulse Amplitude Modulation
Flat topped PAM sampling is often used
because of the ease of generating the
modulated wave. In this pulses have flat
tops after modulation.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0

Pulse Amplitude
Modulation
The PAM signal can be detected by
passing it through a low pass filter.

19
Pulse Width Modulation
In this type, the amplitude is maintained
constant but the width of each pulse is
varied in accordance with instantaneous
value of the analog signal.

Pulse Width Modulation
Fig:
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
21
Pulse Width Modulation
That is why the information is contained in
width variation. This is similar to FM.
In pulse width modulation (PWM), the
width of each pulse is made directly
proportional to the amplitude of the
information signal.

Pulse Width Modulation
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
23
Pulse Width Modulation
A simple method to generate the PWM
pulse train corresponding to a given signal
is the intersective PWM: the signal (here
the green sinewave) is compared with a
sawtooth waveform (blue). When the latter
is less than the former, the PWM signal
(magenta) is in high state (1). Otherwise it
is in the low state (0).
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
24
Pulse Width Modulation
The block diagram of next slide can be
used for generation of PWM as well as
PPM.In this case a sawtooth signal of
frequency fs is a sampling signal.
It is applied to inverting terminal of a
comparator with modulating signal at non
inverting terminal.
O/P remains high as long as modulating
signal is higher than that of ramp signal.

25
Pulse Width Modulation
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
26
Pulse Position Modulation
In this type, the sampled waveform has
fixed amplitude and width whereas the
position of each pulse is varied as per
instantaneous value of the analog signal.
PPM signal is further modification of a
PWM signal.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0

Pulse Position Modulation
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
28
Pulse Position Modulation
The vertical dotted lines shown in last slide
treated as reference lines.
The PPM pulses marked 1,2 and 3 go
away from their respective reference
lines.This corresponds to increase in
modulating signal amplitude.
Then as modulating signal decreases the
PPM pulses 4,5,6,7 come closer to their
respective reference lines.

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
29
Pulse Position Modulation
The PPM signal can be generated from
PWM signal.
The PWM pulses obtained at the
comparator output are applied to a
monostable multivibrator which is ve edge
triggered.
Hence for each trailing edge of PWM
signal, the monostable output goes high.It
remains high for a fixed time decided by its
own RC components.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
30
Pulse Position Modulation
Thus as the trailing edges of the PWM
signal keeps shifting in propotion with the
modulating signal,the PPM pulses also
keep shifting.
Therefore all the PPM pulses have the
same amplitude and width.The information
is conveyed via changing position of
pulses.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
31
Digital Pulse Modulation
Merits of Digital Communication:
1.Digital signals are very easy to receive.
The receiver has to just detect whether
the pulse is low or high.
2.AM & FM signals become corrupted over
much short distances as compared to
digital signals. In digital signals, the
original signal can be reproduced
accurately.
IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
32
Digital Pulse Modulation
Merits of Digital Communication
3.The signals lose power as they travel,
which is called attenuation. When AM
and FM signals are amplified, the noise
also get amplified. But the digital signals
can be cleaned up to restore the quality
and amplified by the regenerators.
4.The noise may change the shape of the
pulses but not the pattern of the pulses.

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
33
Digital Pulse Modulation
Merits of Digital Communication:
5.AM and FM signals can be received by
any one by suitable receiver. But digital
signals can be coded so that only the
person, who is intended for, can receive
them.
6.AM and FM transmitters are real time
systems. i.e. they can be received only at
the time of transmission. But digital
signals can be stored at the receiving
end.
7.The digital signals can be stored.

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
34
Digital Pulse Modulation
The process of Sampling which we have
already discussed in initial slides is also
adopted in Digital pulse modulation.
It is mainly of two types:
Pulse Code Modulation(PCM)
Delta Modulation(DM)

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
35
Pulse Code Modulation(PCM)
Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) is the most
commonly used digital modulation scheme
In PCM, the available range of signal
voltages is divided into levels and each is
assigned a binary number
Each sample is represented by a binary
number and transmitted serially
The number of levels available depends
upon the number of bits used to express
the sample value
The number of levels is given by: N = 2
m

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
36
Pulse Code Modulation(PCM)
PCM consists of three steps to digitize
an analog signal:
1. Sampling
2. Quantization
3. Binary encoding
Before we sample, we have to filter the
signal to limit the maximum frequency of
the signal .Filtering should ensure that
we do not distort the signal, ie remove
high frequency components that affect
the signal shape.

38
Pulse Code Modulation(PCM)
Analog to digital converter employs two
techniques:
1. Sampling: The process of generating pulses of
zero width and of amplitude equal to the
instantaneous amplitude of the analog signal.
The no. of pulses per second is called sampling
rate.

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
39
Pulse Code Modulation(PCM)
2. Quantization: The process of dividing
the maximum value of the analog signal
into a fixed no. of levels in order to
convert the PAM into a Binary Code.
The levels obtained are called
quanization levels.

Quantization
By quantizing the PAM pulse, original
signal is only approximated
The process of converting analog signals
to PCM is called quantizing
Since the original signal can have an
infinite number of signal levels, the
quantizing process will produce errors
called quantizing errors or quantizing
noise

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0

Quantization
Coding and Decoding
The process of converting an analog signal
into PCM is called coding, the inverse
operation is called decoding

Quantization Error
When a signal is quantized, we introduce
an error - the coded signal is an
approximation of the actual amplitude
value.
The difference between actual and coded
value (midpoint) is referred to as the
quantization error.
The more zones, the smaller A which
results in smaller errors.
BUT, the more zones the more bits
required to encode the samples -> higher
bit rate

Pulse Code Modulation
In PCM system,N number of binary digits
are transmitted per sample.Hence the
signaling rate and channel bandwidth of
PCM are very large.
Also encodind,decoding and quantizing
circuitary of PCM is complex.

55
Delta Modulation
In Delta Modulation, only one bit is
transmitted per sample
That bit is a one if the current sample is
more positive than the previous sample,
and a zero if it is more negative
Since so little information is transmitted,
delta modulation requires higher sampling
rates than PCM for equal quality of
reproduction

IFETCE/EEE /M.SUJITH /III YEAR/V SEM/EC 2311/CE/PPT/VER1.0
56
Delta Modulation
This scheme sends only the difference
between pulses, if the pulse at time t
n+1
is
higher in amplitude value than the pulse at
time t
n
, then a single bit, say a 1, is used
to indicate the positive value.
If the pulse is lower in value, resulting in a
negative value, a 0 is used.
This scheme works well for small changes
in signal values between samples.
If changes in amplitude are large, this will
result in large errors.

Delta Modulation
Distortions in DM system
1. If the slope of analog signal is much
higher than that of approximated digital
signal over long duration,than this
difference is called Slope overload
distortion.
2. The difference between quantized signal
and original signal is called as Granular
noise. It is similar to quantisation noise.

Delta Modulation
Distortions in DM system
Granular noise occurs when step size is
large relative to local slope m(t).
There is a further modification in this
system,in which step size is not fixed.
That scheme is known as Adaptive Delta
Modulation.

Slope Overload Error
Slope overload
When the analog signal has a high rate of
change, the DM can fall behind and a
distorted output occurs

65
Tradeoffs
Simplicity versus Quality
In order to obtain the high quality DM
requires very high sampling rates, typically
20 the highest frequency of interest, as
opposed to Nyquist rate of 2
