Introduction
AM, FM and PM : Continuous Carrier wave,
Frequency translation.
Pulse Modulation: Pulse carrier wave, short
distance.
Pulse Modulated waves are rich in d.c and low
frequency components.
Direct transmission of Pulse modulated signal is
very difficult.
Pulse Amplitude Modulation
Sampling Process
Pulse Amplitude Modulation
PAM may be defined as the type of modulation in
which the amplitudes of regularly spaced
rectangular pulses vary according to the
instantaneous value of the modulating signal.
The pulses of PAM signal may be flat type or natural
type.
PAM is two step process.

Reconstruction Filter: LPF
Equalizer: Compensate for magnitude distortion
and phase delay
Equalizer
The equalizer has the effect of decreasing the in-band loss of
the reconstruction filter as the frequency increases in such a
manner as to compensate for the aperture effect.
Designed with acoustics in
mind, to “equalize” all of the
sound frequencies.
Advantages of PAM
It is the base for all digital modulation techniques
and it is simple process for both modulation and
demodulation technique.
No complex circuitry is required for both
transmission and reception. Transmitter and
receiver circuitry is simple and easy to construct.
PAM can generate other pulse modulation signals
and can carry the message or information at same
time.
Dis-advantages of PAM
Bandwidth is high.
Since the noise affects the amplitude of the
waveform, like AM, PAM is also less immune to
noise.
PAM waveform has pulses with varying amplitude
and therefore power required to transmit them is not
constant. This requires that the transmitter must be
able to handle the power required to transmit pulse
having maximum amplitude.
Sample and Hold
The sample and hold circuit generates the samples of
the analogue input signal and holds the latest
sampled values for definite time and reflects it at the
output.
