What is the advantage of ppm over pwm and Pam?

PPM is a type of pulse modulation where messages are sent using single pulses. PWM is a type of modulation which conforms to the pulse. PAM is a type of modulation in which the information is encoded into a series of pulses.


What type of modulation is pulse position modulation and why?

It is a type of Pulse modulation as in PPM the position of pulse of carrier pulse train is varied in accordance with the modulating signal.


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 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.


Pulse Position modulation is digital or not?

Pulse position modulation can be analog or digital, it depends on the signal and/or the modulator used to obtain the modulation. If an analog signal is applied at the input of the modulator, the position of the pulse can assume an infinity of different timing states (the signal vary continuously) and hence an analog modulation is realised in PPM. On the contrary if the signal is digitized previously in a series of discrete states, the pulse at the output will have discrete timing interval (not continuosly). Then a digital modulation is obtained. If the signal is analog, but the modulator is digital, we will have again a number of finite state in output timing, and the PPM will be digital. To be noted that, if the number of steps in the digital modulator, is higher then the dinamic range required, the performance of the digital and analog PPM will be exactly the same. Cecking the front of the pulse of PPM with a digital oscilloscope capable of jitter measurament, we will see immediately if the position of the pulses will be continuosly variable or a number of discrete steps will be presented. We can then consider analog and digital PPM physically different.


Which modulation is used with digital data?

-- PSK -- DPSK -- 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 QAM


How ppm differs from FM?

PPM=Pulse Position Modulation is suited for data communications via optical fiber or short distance line-of-sight as in radio control models. A pulse is encoded by placing it in a specific position in time. Proper sync is required and transmission distortion can render it useless. FM=Frequency Modulation which is more suited for audio communications as in broadcast radio or personal communicators. The modulation of a carrier is accomplished by causing the frequency of the carrier to vary as a function of the audio. The speed of the variation is the frequency of the audio and the amount of the variation is the amplitude of the audio.


What is pulse position demodulation?

Pulse-position modulation (PPM) is a form of signal modulation in which M message bits are encoded by transmitting a single pulse in one of 2M possible time-shifts. This is repeated every T seconds, such that the transmitted bit rate is M/T bits per second. It is primarily useful for optical Amplitude_modulation_compared_to_Pulse_position_modulation'systems, where there tends to be little or no multipath interference.Read more: Amplitude_modulation_compared_to_Pulse_position_modulation'This answer is lifted from response to "Amplitude modulation compared to Pulse modulation", so the original answerer gets credit for a great answer.
