Objective: The objective of performing this lab is to convert the analogue to digital signal
using the well-known technique called delta-modulation and to recover the original analog
signal from its DM modulated digital signal.
Equipment Required: The essential equipment required for this lab are,
Background: The type of modulation, where the sampling rate is much higher and in
which the step size after quantization is of smaller value Δ, such a modulation is termed
as delta modulation(DM). When quality is not the main concern, DM is used to convert
analogue to digital and digital to analogue signals. The difference between subsequent
samples is encoded into n-bit data streams in differential pulse-code modulation, which is its
most basic variant. The transmitted data are condensed into a 1-bit data stream in DM. DM
requires the use of oversampling techniques, in which the analogue signal is sampled at a rate
several times higher than the Nyquist rate, to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio. Below are the
phases given for modulation and demodulation

Conclusion:
In this lab, we gained a foundational understanding of Delta Modulation. DM is the type of
modulation technique that converts or encodes message signal into a binary bit stream is
known as Delta Modulation. Here only 1 bit is used to encode 1 voltage level thus, the
technique allows transmission of only 1 bit per sample. We completed all the lab tasks given
to us by creating a modulated digital signal through delta modulation and demodulating it
back to the original signal. Overall, this lab was very useful for learning new concepts,
practicing hardware, and expanding critical thinking as it was an open-ended lab. Below are
some advantages and disadvantages of Delta Modulation.
Advantages Disadvantages
Cost-effective technique High bit rate.
Requires a smaller number of When the signal is too high, then the
quantization. modulator overloads.
In Delta modulation, the task of DM has poor signal to noise ratio.
transmission of signals is done at lower
channel bandwidth which makes shows
that it Delivers quick and robust data
