Analog Pulse Modulation

Message waveform is represented by regularly spaced sample values (sample signals) discrete in time.

Historically, these methods are the early attempts to achieve modern communications. They are in the twilight zone between analog and digital modulations.

Today, their basic forms can still be found in some electronic components such as ADC.


Analog/Digital Pulse-coded

Analog pulse modulation: A pulse train is used as the carrier wave. Some characteristic feature of each pulse (e.g., amplitude, duration, or position) is used to represent message samples.PAM pulse amplitudePDM pulse durationPPM pulse position

Digital Pulse Modulation: Messages are discrete-amplitude (finite levels) samples.DM delta modulationPCM pulse-code modulation


Pulse-Amplitude Modulation (PAM)

The amplitude of each pulse corresponds to the value of the message signal m(t) (at the leading edge of the pulse).

The pulse generator can be considered as a filter.

DM Signal Generation


Slope Overload

The message signal m(t) has a slope greater than can be followed by the stair-step approximation ms(t).

Assume step-size = 0 slope (max) = 0/Ts


Solution to Overload

Adaptive delta modulation -- adjust the step-size 0based on xc(t).

Idea: If m(t) constant, xc(t) alternates in sign

make 0 .

If m(t) ( or ) rapidly, xc(t) has the same polarity

make 0.Method: Detect the trend of signal


Adaptive DM


ADM Receiver

Transmit step-size or regenerate the step-size at the receiver according to pre-decided rules.

Multiplexing

A number of data sources share the same communication channel.

Quadrature Multiplexing (QM)

Example: Digital telephony system


Comparison of MUX

FDM: simple to implement,inter-modulation distortion (crosstalk) due to nonlinear channels

TDM: less crosstalk (in memoryless channels),difficult to keep synchronization (frame structure, header), digital (sampled) signals

QM: efficient use of channel, crosstalk between I & Q channels (needs coherent demodulation)
