pulse goes from a low level to a high level and the integrator integrates
until the PWM pulse goes low.
The PPM signal is converted to PAM by using the clock pulse to reset the
integrator to zero and start the integration. The PPM pulse is then used
to stop the integration.
Advantages and Disadvantages of PTM
PTM usually requires large bandwidth. The spectra of PTM signals are quite
difficult to evaluate because of the nonlinear nature of the modulation.
The main advantage of PTM signals is that they have great immunity to
additive noise compared to PAM. They are also easier to generate and detect
than PCM which requires analog-to-digital conversion.
