Experiment-2
Delta Modulation

Aim: Illustrate delta modulated signal

 Without slope overload distortion
 With slope over distortion

Theory: With Delta Modulation a train of fixed width pulses is transmitted, whose polarity indicates
whether the demodulator output should rise or fall at each pulse. The output is caused to rise or fall
by a fixed step height at each pulse

distortion at various percentages.
