Both reproduce analog waveforms by switching between 2 values at a much higher rate than the signal itself changes.

  • Pulse duration modulation is a synonym for pulse-width modulation or PWM. The switching frequency is usually constant, and the width or duration of the "high" state determines the output. For instance, if the width is 100%, it is always high, and produces the highest analog value possible. If the width is 50%, it spends half of its time high and half low, producing a halfway voltage. If the width is 0%, it stays low all the time, producing the lowest possible voltage.
  • Pulse density modulation uses a feedback loop to track the analog output voltage, switching low when the output is too high and high when the output is too low.

To produce a 50% voltage, with an equivalent resolution of 8-bits, a PWM waveform will turn on for 128 clock cycles and then off for 128 cycles. A PDM waveform with the same clock rate would alternate between on and off every other cycle. The average of both waveforms is 50%, but the PDM waveform switches more often. For 100% output or 0% output, they are identical.

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).

Difference between density and specific gravity?

Density is measured by mass per volume and the expressed formula is P=M/V where P represents Density, M represents Mass and V represents Volume. Specific density is a measurement of density relative to another substance and the expressed formula is Substance=P substance/ P reference. An example of specific density is measuring salt in ocean water and comparing it to salt in fresh water.


Does salt water stay a top fresh water?

No, it will be at the bottom - difference in density.

Difference between velocity and current modulation in klystron?

Velocity modulation in a klystron involves the interaction between the electron beam's velocity and the RF field to produce amplification. Current modulation, on the other hand, involves varying the electron beam's current to control the amplification of the RF signal. In summary, velocity modulation affects the electron beam's speed, while current modulation affects the electron beam's density in a klystron.

How could you tell the difference in density between the same size samples of quartz and galena?

You can tell the difference in density between quartz and galena by measuring their mass and volume. Calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume. Galena has a higher density than quartz, so the sample with higher density is likely to be galena.
