Experiment 4: Aim Equipments Theory

Delta modulation encodes analog signals by sampling them at a high rate and quantizing the difference between successive samples to 1 bit. The experiment's aim was to demonstrate delta modulation and demodulation using an experiment kit, power supply, and oscilloscope. Key aspects of delta modulation include oversampling the input signal, simple quantization design, high sampling rate above Nyquist rate, moderate quality, and simple modulator and demodulator design that approximates the output as a staircase waveform using a small step size.

Experiment 4

Aim: Delta Modulation and Demodulation.

Equipments: Experiment Kit DCL-07, Power Supply, 20MHz Oscilloscope, Connecting Chords.

Theory:
The sampling rate of a signal should be higher than the Nyquist rate, to achieve better sampling. If this sampling interval in
Differential PCM is reduced considerably, the sample-to-sample amplitude difference is very small, as if the difference is
1-bit quantization, then the step-size will be very small i.e., Δ (delta).

Delta Modulation
The type of modulation, where the sampling rate is much higher and in which the step size after quantization is of a smaller
value Δ, such a modulation is termed as delta modulation.

Features of Delta Modulation

Following are some of the features of delta modulation.

• An over-sampled input is taken to make full use of the signal correlation.

• The quantization design is simple.

• The input sequence is much higher than the Nyquist rate.

• The quality is moderate.

• The design of the modulator and the demodulator is simple.

• The stair-case approximation of output waveform.

• The step-size is very small, i.e., Δ (delta).

• The bit rate can be decided by the user.

• This involves simpler implementation.

Delta Modulation is a simplified form of DPCM technique, also viewed as 1-bit DPCM scheme. As the sampling interval is
reduced, the signal correlation will be higher.
