Pulse Position Modulation

The PPM modulator converts an analog signal into a discrete time signal with pulses of fixed amplitude and duration but varying position. It generates a PPM signal where the position of each pulse is proportional to the amplitude of the modulating analog signal. The PPM modulator uses a 555 timer chip to generate a carrier pulse train and a monostable multivibrator to create fixed-width pulses at the trailing edge of each pulse-width modulated carrier pulse, forming the PPM output. The PPM demodulator consists of a bistable circuit to convert the PPM back into PWM, and an op-amp integrator to recover the original analog signal from the PWM.

Pulse Position Modulation

The PPM modulator convert the analog signal to a discrete time signal
with pulses having both fixed amplitude and duration but changing
position.

Modulating (Analog) signal: like the PWM, the analog signal has
fixed frequency (f=50Hz) and controllable amplitude (level). (See board
fig)

Carrier (pulse train) signal: In the PPM board, the pulse train carrier
signal will be generated internally using the IC1-555 (See board fig),
which works as oscillator (because of the shorted 2&6 pins). This signal
has both fixed amplitude (2 Vp-p) and frequency (1.24 KHz).

Modulating signal (PPM): After both the pulse train and analog
signal enter the modulator, the PPM signal will be generated. The
modulated signal is a serial of pulses in which the relative position of the
pulse is proportional to amplitude of the modulating signal (simulator to
the phase modulation).

PP Modulator: to generate the PPM we first need to generate the


PWM and then convert it to PPM, so for that the modulator is divided
into two parts:

|Page1
1. IC2-555: just like in the PWM this IC it doesn't work as oscillator
(since pin 2&6 are not shorted), instate it is responsible for
generating the PWM signal : the carrier signal controls the leading
edge and the analog signal controls the trailing edge of each pulse of
the PWM.
2. Monostable: this circuit, which consist of (C4, R5 & D1) generates the
PPM out of the PWM. It works as differentiator and by that, it create
pulses with fixed duration at the trailing edge of each PWM pulse.

PP Demodulator: The demodulator in the PPM is also consisted of


two parts:
1. Bistable: this circuit inverse the work of the monostable; it convert
the PPM to PWM using the two transistors.
2. Op- amp circuit (IC3 in board fig): it works as integrator, it calculate
the area under each pulse of the PWM and thus regenerate the
original analog signal.

The procedure:
1. Adjust the modulating signal to .3Vp.p and connect it to pin 5 and
draw the signal: (signal figure)
2. Connect carrier signal to pin 2 and draw it : (signal figure)
3. Now draw the signal of TP3 pin (PWM) using channel 1with signal at
o/p pin (PPM) using channel 2: (signal figure)
4. Connect the o/p pin to the i/p pin and the output pin to the input pin.
Draw the output of the bistable (PWM) using channel 1 and the
analog signal using channel 2.
5. Draw the demodulating signal at the output of IC 3 using channel 1
and the analog signal using channel 2.
