• Disadvantages of PPM
• As the position of PPM pulses is varied with reference to a
reference pulse, a transmitter has to send synchronizing pulses to
operate the timing circuits in the receiver. Without them the
demodulation won’t be possible to achieve. Large bandwidth is
required to ensure transmission of undistorted pulses.

Pulse Code Modulation
• PCM is not a type of modulation, but rather a form of digitally
coding analog signals.
• PCM is a binary system where a pulse or lack of pulse within a
prescribed time slot represents either a logic 1 or logic 0 condition.
• Pulse code modulation essentially consists of sampling, quantizing
and encoding operations
