∙ 10y agoThe main advantage of PWM is that power loss in the switching devices is very low. When a switch is off there is practically no current, and when it is on, there is almost no voltage drop across the switch. Power loss, being the product of voltage and current, is thus in both cases close to zero. PWM also works well with digital controls, which, because of their on/off nature, can easily set the needed duty cycle.

What are the types of pulse modulation?
Pulse width mod, pulse amplitude mod, pulse position mod, pulse code mod.
What is need of space vector pulse width modulation?
due to space vector modulation we can eliminate the lower order harmonics
Application of pulse width modulation?
PWM finds use in power applications like dc motor speed control
Which modulation technique is most prone to noise PWM or AM?
AM = Amplitude Modulation and is more prone to noise because the signal amplitude caries the intellegence, Noise changes this easily. PWM is Pulse Width Modulation and noise does not change the width of the pulses, though it may introduce other pulses. Therefore the original intellegence is still recoverable.
What is H5 inverter?
an H5 Inverter is an inverter with a topology with a virtual negative bus, so that it does not need have a negatively (or positively if so chosen) grounded conductor. H stands for H-Bridge, and the number 5 is representative of the number of switches it requires or IGBTs(Insulated Gate Bi-Polar Transistors) Basicially just low switching loss transistors. Developed by Toshiba. You will find that the H5 inverter uses what is called SPWM, or sinusoidal pulse width modulation, which is the switching strategy for the IGBTs.
What do you mean by pulse width modulation?
pulse width modulation is nothing but changing on and off time period of a waveform without changing its frequency

How do you calculate the width of pulse in pulse position modulation?
The width of the pulse in PPM is not important, but is usually very narrow and constant in any given PPM system.
What is need of space vector pulse width modulation?
due to space vector modulation we can eliminate the lower order harmonics
Smaller the pulse width larger is the bandwidth How?
For the Radar Case: The bandwidth of the pulse is the reciprocal of the Pulse Duration (called Pulse Width) as any filtering needs to be able to detection and follow the pulse shape and its edges. The pulse width is the AM modulation to a Fixed Frequency Carrier Frequency and the AM modulation will be greater bandwidth then the Carrier Frequency. As you are attempting to reject receiving other emissions and noise that do not match your own emissions such that your receiver is "match filtered" to your emissions, your receiver bandwidth will be at least the reciprocal of the pulse width but is lightly to be a smaller bandwidth then the reciprocal of the pulse width.
What is the digital pulse modulation?
There are 3 main types of digital pulse modulation:Pulse time modulation (PTM), somewhat similar to analog phase modulation.Pulse width modulation (PWM), the width of the pulse represents the signal.Pulse code modulation (PCM), serial transmission of binary bits forming numeric or character codes that represent the signal.All of these can be modulated on an RF carrier using any of the standard modulation techniques: AM, FM, Phase Modulation, etc. One advantage with AM digital pulse modulation techniques over AM analog is that the carrier can be 100% modulated, which cannot be done with analog, thereby allowing significant reductions in transmitter power without loss of coverage range. Sometimes FM digital pulse modulation techniques are referred to as Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). A very complex method of combining Phase Modulation and AM to increase the bit density of digital pulse modulation on an RF carrier is called Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM).
How many types of pulse width modulation techniques are there?
as many as there are ways to place points on a line segment
What is difference between pulse width modulation and pulse position modulation?
Frequency modulation, as the name suggests, modulates the carrier by changing the frequency of the signal emitted. Pulse width modulation, changes the on-time of a square wave, but leaves the frequency of the carrier wave unchanged. So, in frequency modulation, the frequency will vary between, say, 80kHz and 120kHz with a constant power level, but in pulse width modulation, the frequency will stay at 100kHz, but the on-time (the length of each pulse) will vary, hence the power level will vary accordingly.
What is the difference between Pam ppm and pwm in digital communication?
PAM-pulse Amplitude Modulation It encodes information in the amplitude of a sequence of signal pulses. PPM-Pulse Position modulation PWM-Pulse Width Modulation.It results in variation of average waveform.
