PULSE AMPLITUDE

MODULATION
By: EFRYL VINCENT LAPINA

EARLIEST REASON FOR SAMPLING A SIGNAL WAS TO

INTERLACE SAMPLES FROM DIFFERENT TELEGRAPHY
SOURCES, AND CONVEY THEM OVER A SINGLE TELEGRAPH
CABLE

TELEGRAPH TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING WAS CONVEYED BY

MOSES G. FARMER ON 1853

HISTORY OF PAM

IS A FORM OF SIGNAL MODULATION WHERE THE MESSAGE

INFORMATION IS ENCODED IN THE AMPLITUDE OF A SERIES OF
SIGNAL PULSES

AN ANALOG PULSE MODULATION SCHEME IN WHICH THE

AMPLITUDES OF A TRAIN OF CARRIER PULSES ARE VARIED
ACCORDING TO THE SAMPLE VALUE OF THE MESSAGE SIGNAL.

IS ONE OF SEVERAL FORMS OF SINGLE MODULATION IN WHICH

DATA IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH VARYING THE AMPLITUDE OF
THE PULSES IN REGULAR TIMED MSEQUENCE OF ELECTRICAL
OR ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES

PULSE AMPLITUDE MODULATION

NATURAL PAM
FLAT TOP PAM

TYPES OF PAM

SAMPLING OCCURS WHEN FINITE WIDTH PULSES ARE USED IN

THE MODULATION AND TOPS OF PULSES FOLLOW THE
MODULATING SIGNAL

NATURAL PAM

TOPS OF THE PULSES ARE FLAT

THE PULSS HAVE A CONSTANT AMPLITUDE WITHIN THE PULSE
INTERVAL

FLAT TOP PAM

PAM IS SOMETIMES CLASSIFIED AS

DUAL POLARITY PAM

SINGLE POLARITY PAM

TYPES OF PAM

PAM SIGNLA IS GENERATED BY USING A PULSE TRAIN, CALLED

THE SAMPLING SIGNAL (OR CLOCK SIGNAL) TO OPERATE AN
ELECTRIC SWITCH OR CHOPPER
THESE PRODUCES SAMPLES OF THE ANALOG MESSASGE
SIGNAL

PAM SIGNAL GENERATION

THE REPETITION RATE OF THE SAMPLING SIGNAL

SAMPLING RATE

THE BW FOR TRANSMISSION OF A PAM SIGNAL IS VERY LARGE

NOISE IS MAXIMUM IN THE PAM WAVE
AS THE AMPLITUDE OF THE PAM SIGNAL IS VARIED, THIS ALSO
VARIES PEAK POWER REQUIRED BY THE TRANSMITTER
