Pulse Position Modulation: Objectives

This document describes an experiment on pulse position modulation (PPM). The objectives are to construct and study a PPM system, examine PPM signal time displays, and study PPM demodulation. A circuit diagram shows a PPM modulator that uses pulse width modulation (PWM) and a low-pass filter for demodulation. PPM encodes an analog signal's sample values by varying the position of a constant-width pulse proportionally to the sample. This modulation is demodulated by a low-pass filter to reconstruct the original signal.

3. To study the demodulating PPM signals.

Pre-Lab Work:

2. Basic theory of PPM demodulation techniques.
3. Understanding the data sheets of components used in the experiment.
4. Computer simulations (Multisim / pSpice) are performed and the objectives are
obtained prior to the hardware experiment.

Basic Theory:
In Pulse Position Modulation, both the pulse amplitude and pulse duration are held
constant but the position of the pulse is varied in proportional to the sampled values of
the message signal. Pulse time modulation is a class of signaling techniques that
encodes the sample values of an analog signal on to the time axis of a digital signal and
it is analogous to angle modulation techniques. The two main types of PTM are PWM
and PPM. In PPM the analog sample value determines the position of a narrow pulse
relative to the clocking time. In PPM rise time of pulse decides the channel bandwidth. It
has low noise interference. Generation of PPM is carried out by giving the pulse width
modulated output to mono-stable multi-vibrator as shown in Fig.1. A low pass filter is
used to demodulate the PWM modulated signal as shown in Fig.1.
Output Waveform:
Precautions:

1. Connections should be made carefully.


2. The components (resistors, capacitors and ICs ) must be identified properly
before giving the circuit connections.
3. The components must be properly doped into the bread board.
