i'm not really sure, but if i'm not mistaken, you should know the frequency of the PWM and it's duty cycle. For an example, if f = 10khz & duty cycle = 90%. f=1/t, so t=100microsecond, 90/100 x 100microsecond = 90microsecond. So the width of PWM is 90microsecond

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.


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 the use of IC 555 in generating pulse width modulation signal?

A pulse width modulated signal would be very useful in a switching power supply. This is but one example. Note, however, that there are better examples than the 555 for use in a switching power supply.


What is ppm modulation?

pulse position modulation, used in many RC model aircraft controls.


Difference between analog modulation and digital modulation?

Analog Pulse modulation is discreet in time but the formation is transmitted in continuous form. In digital pulse modulation, not only the time axis is discreet but the information is also in digital form. Examples of Analog PM are PAM and PTM i.e pulse amplitude and pulse time modulations respectively. Examples of Digital PM are PCM and PDM i.e pulse code and pulse delta modulations respectively.

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).

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.
